Blue Ghost private glider has reached the moon

Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost mission on Sunday made history as the first private cislunar (lander) to land on the Moon. “We want to thank NASA…for entrusting in the Firefly team,” Firefly Aerospace’s Chief Technology Officer Shea Ferring said. The company’s two-metre-high cislunar will carry a drill and a ‘planetvac’ to scoop the lunar dirt, among other experiments.
