After 52 years, we have returned to the surface of the Moon! The privately built lunar lander, Odysseus, achieved a groundbreaking milestone by successfully landing on the surface of the Moon. On February 22nd, Intuitive Machines made history as their spacecraft touched down, marking the first-ever successful landing of a private lander on the Moon. This remarkable achievement is part of NASA's initiative to utilize private companies for lunar exploration under Project Artemis, paving the way for future human missions to our celestial neighbor. Join us in congratulating the team at Intuitive Machines for their extraordinary accomplishment and welcoming Odysseus to the exclusive lunar landing club.

On February 22nd, for the first
time in history, a privately built lunar lander successfully
touched down on the surface
of the Moon. The lander's name is
Odysseus and was built by the company
Intuitive Machines as part of a NASA
program to use
private landers to gather
necessary science for Project Artemis, NASA's
plan to return humans to the Moon. Landing on
the Moon is hard, and a number
of other attempts to get private
landers to the surface
have failed. A huge congratulations
to the folks a
t Intuitive
Machines, and a big
welcome to Odie to the
lunar landing club.

Except the lander tipped over — that should be included in the information
Not so successfully landed. It landed on sideways and now lost the ability how long it can transmit pictures. Compare this to Chandrayaan 3 - which is real successful landing.
Houston, Odysseus has made it to Ithaca
So I could build a machine like that, and just let if get up there :0
love your cgannel
Private? As in privately owned? As in, cooperation going to nasa being like "Hey can you deliver this to the moon for us?"
All im saying is, thruster valves on each top corner and it couldve been a different story, yet here we are.
She said it’s hard. Tell this to Americans who landed on the moon many moons ago, didn’t look that hard.
