The plane of the Moon's orbit is offset from Earth's equator, so the Moon dances north and south throughout her orbit!

The Moon moves in loops and dances around the Earth, but our eyes are too slow to see them.

I say it was one of NASA's worst decisions. Really it wasn't their fault. They didn't have enough government funding to contract two companies to build landers, so they went with the bare cheapest bidder (SpaceX).

It's genuinely possible that Starship HLS might not be ready before Blue Moon MK 2 is.
