Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 02-15-2024 12:30 AM collectSPACE <blockquote><font size="+0"><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-021524a-intuitive-machines-im1-moon-lander-launch.html">Odysseus' odyssey: Intuitive Machines IM-1 Nova-C lander launches to the moon</a></font> [i]Houston, Texas has long taken pride in its name being the first word addressed back to Earth by the first humans to land on the moon. Now, more than 50 years later, the first spacecraft built entirely in Houston is on its way to becoming the first commercial lander to touch down on the lunar surface. Intuitive Machines' IM-1 Nova-C moon lander is not carrying a crew so will not be able to call back, "Houston, Odysseus has landed" as the Apollo 11 astronauts on Eagle did in 1969, but if successful, the robotic spacecraft's achievement should be heard in "Space City" and around the world. It will mark the return of the United States to the lunar surface as NASA works to resume landing astronauts under its Artemis program.[/i]</blockquote> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-021524a-intuitive-machines-im1-moon-lander-launch.html" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/images/news-021524aa-lg.jpg" width="400" height="265" border="0"></a></center>
