Oddie made it!!  "We can confirm without a doubt the equipment is on the moon," Dr. Tim Crane said on the NASA broadcast. "Odysseus has a new home."

A nail-biting and exciting evening as we listened to hear the fate of Odysseus, after facing some problems that were worked out during a few additional Moon orbits, the lander made a successful landing in the South Pole region of the Moon. This is the first time in over 50 years that a US built spacecraft has landed on the Moon.

Intuitive Machine's lander launched last week on a Falcon 9 from Kennedy Space Center, which also was a milestone for myself as it was the first launch for me to ever photograph the nebula effect during a launch.

Now, as I gaze up at the moon tonight,  I wonder what part of the South Pole that little guy is hanging out at, excited about the potential and possibilities
this will bring for further exploration.
