The Moon Landing Chronicles: A Journey Through Successes and Failures.

Landing on the moon is difficult and many attempts have failed. However, some countries and companies have managed to successfully land spacecraft on the moon.

The US was the first country to land humans on the moon with the Apollo missions. China has also had success with robotic missions, landing rovers and returning samples to Earth.

India and Japan have both successfully landed spacecraft on the moon in recent years. Russia attempted a landing in 2023 but their spacecraft crashed on the surface.

Several private companies are also aiming to land on the moon, with some success and some failures. Intuitive Machines and Firefly Aerospace are two American companies that have attempted lunar landings.

Firefly Aerospace successfully landed their Blue Ghost lander, delivering experiments for NASA. Intuitive Machines had a second attempt that tipped over, and Japan's ispace company is planning another attempt soon.
