Highlights: The first private lander landed on the Moon - Space and Astronomy. It's Odysseus, from the Texan company Intuitive Machine. It is an absolute first in the history of the space age and also marks the return of an American vehicle to the Moon 52 years after the last mission of the Apollo program. The extension maneuver took place as expected, but there were moments of tension because initially it was not possible to receive the signal. After a few attempts with multiple antennas from Earth, the 'beep' finally came from the lander.
