## Moon Landing

The first private spacecraft to successfully land on the Moon is the Odysseus spacecraft, built by [Intuitive Machines](https://www.intuitivemachines.com/) in Houston, Texas. It landed near the lunar south pole on February 22, 2024, marking the first private Moon landing and the first U.S. lunar lander since 1972.

* **You don't** even **have to be a millionaire**, because the price dropped to a "few" hundred thousands

You can launch your own *cubesat* ( a small, 10cm X 10cm X 10cm satellite) into space for ... ?
