it’s all about how a private company called intuitive machines landed a spacecraft on the moon yesterday. here’s the part that was especially eye-opening for meIntuitive Machines also became the first private business to pull off a lunar landing, a feat achieved by only five countries. Another U.S. company, Astrobotic Technology, gave it a shot last month, but never made it to the moon, and the lander crashed back to Earth. Both companies are part of a NASA-supported program to KICKSTART THE LUNAR ECONOMY. (caps are mine)cheap real estate with high transportation costs.
