A Houston-based company is set Thursday to land America's first spaceship on the Moon in more than 50 years, part of a new fleet of NASA-funded, uncrewed commercial robots meant to pave the way for astronaut missions later this decade.
If all goes well, Intuitive Machines will guide its hexagon-shaped lander Odysseus to a gentle touchdown near the lunar south pole at 2324 GMT, according to an update that said the craft would do one more orbit than initially expected.
