Firefly Aerospace, out of Austin area, had a beautiful moon landing with their lander, Blue Ghost.

But...another failure for Intuitive Machines ...their moon lander named Athena tipped over ...Athena is laying down in the moon dust.

I like how the CEO described the second time they have wasted 62.5 million dollars:

He said the lander is 'off nominal'.

Nice, gentle way of telling us, they screwed up...AGAIN.

I missed that one, but that's great news.

I remember their first flight. It was so close. You'd think that the main failure they had last time would have been fixed. How do you tip over two in a row? They need to do more testing.

The entire last week was off nominal for me lol.
