Lander 'alive and well' after first US moon landing since Apollo era
==========
Intuitive Machines' lunar lander, Odysseus, successfully landed on the moon's south polar region, making it the first private business to achieve a moon landing since the Apollo era. The lander's navigation system failed, but NASA's experiments on board, including a cube with four cameras, were still able to capture data. The lander is communicating with the ground, but its specific location and overall health are still being determined. Intuitive Machines anticipates a week of operations on the moon before lunar nightfall. The mission was sponsored by NASA under a program to jump-start the lunar economy.
