Intuitive Machines' lunar lander, Odysseus, successfully landed on the Moon at approximately 4:24 p.m. Thursday, marking the first U.S. moon landing since 1972 and the first ever by a private company. Launched on February 15th from Cape Canaveral aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, this mission represents a significant milestone in space exploration, potentially heralding the beginning of a lunar economy. The landing, which took place near the Moon's South Pole at about 6:23pm ET, was closely followed by space enthusiasts and marked a historic moment for Intuitive Machines, a space exploration startup aiming to make such missions more common for the private sector. The successful touchdown of Odysseus not only puts the U.S. back in lunar exploration business but also carries scientific instruments in preparation for NASA's upcoming crewed missions under the Artemis program. This achievement has been celebrated across the space community and has significantly impacted Intuitive Machines' stock, which saw a substantial surge, jumping up 17%+ to $9.7 in the lead-up to and following the landing.
