A private US company is attempting to land a vehicle on the south pole of the moon in about an hour. It would be the first US craft to land on the moon since the Apollo program.I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking at. Can you give this a little more context for those of us who aren't watching CNN?
First of at least 3 robotic lunar landing missions by Intuitive Machines as part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) Program. The lunar lander, named Odysseus, will fly 6 payloads for NASA and several others for commercial companies to near Malapert. A crater near the Moon's south pole.I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking at. Can you give this a little more context for those of us who aren't watching CNN?
Mild thread jack for the sake of a humorous anecdoteâŚway back in 1980 I was a young enlisted Marine taking night classes at a nearby university. On leaving class and walking across the quad I saw several students crying, weeping, and generally carrying on, so, I asked what was going onâŚâLennon is dead,â one wept, and I looked at her curiously, and responded, âYeah, Lenin died in 1924.â
Sound stage looks upgraded this time đđLooks like they did it! Basically accomplishing what we already did in June of 1966.
