Astrobotic has provided an explanation for another of SpaceX boss Elon Musk's tweets with news that its Griffin lander lander will be riding a Falcon Heavy to the Moon in 2023.
Musk last week sent fanbois into frothing excitement with an announcement that a trip to the Moon was on the cards.
… going to moon very soon

With Musk's Starship exploding on a regular basis (and we applaud the genius that put together this SpaceX and Pixar mash-up), SpaceX's silver behemoth seems unlikely to be troubling lunar orbit in the immediate future.
