American spaceship facedown on the Moon after dramatic touchdown
Friday, 23 February 2024
The first American spaceship on the Moon since Apollo probably face-planted into the dirt after catching on a rock during its dramatic landing, the company that built it said Friday. Intuitive Machines, which achieved the first lunar landing by a private company, initially posted on X that its hexagonal spaceship was upright, but CEO Steve Altemus told reporters on Friday that statement was based on misinterpreted data.
