LIVE NOW: NASA science is landing on the Moon aboard @Int_Machines’ uncrewed Nova-C lander, named Odysseus.
This is the first time an American commercial lunar lander has made it to orbit around the Moon. https://t.co/Tosd9y9yxi

MOON LANDING: A private mission from Houston-based Intuitive Machines has successfully touched down on the lunar surface, becoming the first U.S.-built spacecraft to stick a moon landing since 1972 and the first ever by a private company. https://t.co/r9RfpED0cW pic.twitter.com/PoSX6MnYpd

The capsule, sealed tightly with a wooden door, had to pass through the blood brain barrier before landing on the lunar surface. It then had to avoid many viruses by using a mesh made out of microplastics, before it was able to cool down from too many carbon emissions.
CNN:
The US-made Odysseus lunar lander has made a touchdown on the moon, surpassing its final key milestones — and the odds — to become the first commercial spacecraft to accomplish such a feat, but the condition of the lander remains in question.
…
Odysseus is the first vehicle launched from the United States to land on the moon’s surface since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
Mission controllers from Intuitive Machines, the Houston-based company that developed the robotic explorer, confirmed the lander reached the lunar surface Thursday evening.
It’s not really impossible to land a robot on the Moon.
It’s just that so much of this outer space shit is fake, and when you now have a “space race” with the Chinese being openly shilled by the government/media, it’s fair enough to ask if this stuff is real.
“If we are in a space race with the Chinese now, as many think we are, it may come down to who is prepared to take the greatest risk.”
