Takeaways

There were private (rich) people before who got to go into space... what's different this time is that the launches, the vehicles, the passengers everything is private companies.

  • Space is no longer for national space agencies only - you don't have to become a NASA astronaut

  • 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 ... ?

The first private spacecraft to successfully land on the Moon is the Odysseus spacecraft, built by 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.
