US company lands on the Moon for the first time, joining a special group of Moon explorers.
Reading
Landing a spacecraft on the moon is tricky and many attempts have failed. A U.S. company, Intuitive Machines, successfully landed on the moon, marking a first for private firms.
Intuitive Machines' lander, supported by NASA, tipped over but still worked. This event marked the U.S.'s return to the moon since the Apollo missions ended in 1972.
Many countries have tried to land on the moon, but only a few have succeeded. China has made significant achievements, including a rover landing on the moon's far side.
Russia and India also aimed for the moon, with India succeeding after a previous failure. Japan managed a landing too, but its spacecraft landed in a less than ideal spot.
Other attempts by countries and private firms have ended in failures. However, these missions, successful or not, demonstrate the ongoing interest in exploring the moon.
