A private company operating the first United States moon landing attempt in more than 50 years has admitted there is "no chance" of its spacecraft making a soft landing on the surface following a "critical" fuel leak.Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic Technology managed to orient its lander towards the sun so the solar panel could collect sunlight and charge its battery, as a special team assessed the status of what was termed "a failure in the propulsion system".But it soon became apparent there was "a critical loss of fuel", eventually dashing hopes for what had been a planned moon landing on February 23.
