This podcast covers the first private lunar landing of a commercial spacecraft named Odysseus, developed by Intuitive Machines under partnership with NASA. The successful touchdown on February 22nd marks the long-awaited return of American spacecraft to the moon's surface for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972. Detailing the final leg of its descent to a lunar crater, as well as the significance of breaking barriers to surface exploration after recent failed lander missions, the story celebrates renewed hope for future human bases on the moon that this can help enable.
