CRUX's video: Private Moon Mission Aims First US Lunar Soft Landing In 50 Years

A historic lunar mission unfolded on January 8 as Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander embarked on a journey to achieve the first US soft landing on the moon in 50 years. Launched atop the inaugural Vulcan rocket, a collaboration between Boeing and Lockheed Martin's United Launch Alliance (ULA), this private-sector venture aims to break new ground. Peregrine's success could mark a pivotal moment in space exploration, not only securing a lunar touchdown but also highlighting ULA's ambitious push to compete with SpaceX's Falcon 9 in satellite launches. n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
