Observe the monumental achievement of a flight company based in Texas, as they successfully landed the first privately owned spacecraft on the Moon.
Intuitive Machines successfully landed a spacecraft near the south pole of the Moon on Thursday, February 22.
This marks the initial American landing on the moon’s surface in over 50 years and the first ever accomplished by a non-governmental entity.
NASA, with several research instruments aboard the vehicle, hailed the landing as a major achievement in its goal of sending a squad of commercially flown spacecraft on scientific scouting missions to the Moon ahead of a planned return of astronauts there later this decade.
