Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost Mission lands on moon

Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost Mission successfully landed on the moon, marking the second commercial moon landing. The uncrewed spacecraft touched down near Mare Crisium, following the first commercial landing last year. Launched in January, Blue Ghost carried 10 NASA experiments and cost $101 million for delivery. It is the second private company to achieve a soft landing on the moon, after Intuitive Machines' success in 2024. This mission supports NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return astronauts to the moon. Five countries have completed lunar landings, including the US, China, and India.
