IM-1 brought CAPSTONE levels of drama (for those of you who followed that mission) before finally declaring success:

The landing was the first on the moon by a privately developed spacecraft. It was also the first soft landing on the moon by any American spacecraft since the last Apollo mission, Apollo 17, in December 1972.

It’s still February and the whole New Space sector is cranking out win after win. The second half of the year should be even busier.

Congrats to the Intuitive Machines team.
