A private lunar lander, Blue Ghost, successfully landed on the moon, delivering a drill and experiments for NASA. This marks the first time a private company has achieved a stable lunar landing without crashing. Blue Ghost, launched by Firefly Aerospace, is part of NASA's commercial lunar delivery program. The lander carried ten experiments, including a vacuum for moon dirt analysis and a drill for temperature measurements. Another lander from Intuitive Machines is set to land later this week, aiming for a location near the moon's south pole. This follows a series of private lunar missions, as NASA seeks to foster a lunar economy.
