Private company rockets toward the moon in the latest rush of lunar landing attempts
The Statesman
|February 28, 2025
A private company launched another lunar lander Wednesday, aiming to get closer to the moon's south pole this time with a drone that will hop into a jet-black crater that never sees the sun.
Intuitive Machines' lander, named Athena, caught a lift with SpaceX from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. It's taking a fast track to the moon — with a landing on 6 March — while hoping to avoid the fate of its predecessor, which tipped over at touchdown.
