Well, this is embarrassing: The Lunar Gateway's primary modules are corroded

Here's something that’s hard to ignore — two of the Lunar Gateway’s primary modules are actually corroded. That’s right, after a decade of plans and delays, NASA’s flagship lunar station is facing a pretty embarrassing setback. According to Eric Berger at Ars Technica, the modules meant to test deep-space living and exploration are now showing signs of corrosion, which raises serious questions about their durability and the entire project’s future. Now, here’s where it gets even more interesting — NASA had already pushed back the launch dates multiple times, and with the Gateway now paused to focus on the lunar surface, this corrosion issue might just be the final nail in the coffin. But here’s the thing — if NASA wants to push ahead with long-term lunar ambitions, they’ll need to solve this corrosion problem fast. Otherwise, future moon bases might have to rethink what’s feasible, especially when it comes to building space stations that last. According to Berger, this might be a wake-up call for space agencies about the hidden risks of long-term space infrastructure.
