There has been an emergency aboard the command module Columbia!

The command module, Columbia, has lost all power to the cabin lights, plunging the eight astronauts into darkness. We further understand that power to virtually all systems has been lost. The spacecraft has lost its computer platform and all life support systems.

Without power, the spacecraft can drift into gimbal lock. If Columbia slips into gimbal lock, it will tumble out of control.

This is Public Affairs Officer, Esha Sharma. Gold Team PAO, Marcus Garcia, is at an emergency meeting at the White House discussing the current situation with the president.

Both Mission Control and the astronauts are working hard to solve the problem, which seems to be coming from a faulty on-board computer. Mission Control has ascertained that if the computer's internal algorithms can be solved, the spacecraft can become 100% operational. Backup help has been called in and everyone is involved in the painstaking process to bring our astronauts home safely.

Again, Luna Redux is in the middle of potentially catastrophic emergency. Updates to follow.
