It's the first U.S.-built spacecraft to land on the moon in more than 50 years, and the first ever by a private company. The Odysseus lander took off from Cape Canaveral last week and made it to the lunar surface on Thursday. The Houston-based company Intuitive Machines created the spacecraft and the trip is key to NASA's goal of returning to the moon with a manned mission. • Stream your PBS favorites with the PBS app: https://to.pbs.org/2Jb8twG • Find more from PBS NewsHour at https://www.pbs.org/newshour • Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2HfsCD6 • Follow us: • TikTok: / pbsnews • Twitter: / newshour • Instagram: / newshour • Facebook: http://www.pbs.org/newshour • Subscribe: • PBS NewsHour podcasts: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/podcasts • Newsletters: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/subscribe
