While woke celebrities were celebrating their woke movies, this American company pulled off the first successful commercial moon landing 🇺🇸

This is a good old-fashioned win for American business, American might, and the American spirit:

A commercial spacecraft carrying NASA experiments successfully touched down on the moon's surface early Sunday morning, ushering in a new phase of private space exploration.
American firm Firefly Aerospace, which livestreamed the descent of its Blue Ghost lunar lander, said the craft arrived on the moon's surface at 3:34 a.m. EST.
'You all stuck the landing. We're on the moon,' Blue Ghost chief engineer Will Coogan said on the livestream, eliciting cheers from the mission control room.

Here's that moment:

An American company sending a craft to the moon got me feeling like:

Earlier footage showed the craft on its approach to the lunar surface:

Just a few hours later and Blue Ghost was taking beautiful shots of the lunar sunrise:

...as well as a shot of the distant blue marble of Earth:

The craft is "carrying 10 NASA experiments on board, including a drill to measure lunar heat flow, an instrument to collect rock samples and an X-ray imager to study how Earth's magnetic field is impacted by cosmic forces such as solar wind."

The mission occurred as part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative, wherein the space agency contracts with private companies to send scientific instruments and other technology to the lunar surface. It is also part of NASA's Artemis program, which intends to send astronauts back to the moon for the first time in decades. ...
Blue Ghost traveled more than 2.8 million miles over 45 days to reach its destination. It touched down beside the moon's Mons Latreille volcanic feature, in the lunar plain called Mare Crisium.
