    Launched last night on it's way to the moon. And a good pop today.

    Understand space is really hard. I don't know the numbers, but I know there's been alot of failed landers.

    Intuitive Machines is working on two more Nova-C landers for its IM-2 and IM-3 that will both be sent off later this year.

    Currently the IM1 has been successfully commissioned in space by establishing a stable attitude, solar charging, and radio communications contact with the Company’s mission operations center in Houston. Later today they will fire up the engines to continue it's journey.

    A key milestone for the IM-1 mission will come about 18 hours after launch, when the spacecraft fires its main engine for the first time in a commissioning test. That engine, developed by Intuitive Machines and using liquid oxygen and methane propellants, will later be used for any necessary trajectory correction maneuvers as well as for going into orbit around the moon and the landing itself.

    “That’s a critical maneuver and, if we make that maneuver go well, we’re on our way to the moon,” Steve Altemus, chief executive of Intuitive Machines, said in a Feb. 12 interview. “I think our confidence level goes from 75 to 80% to about 90% once that commissioning maneuver is done.”

    I myself purchased 1350 shares off of some HOLO earnings so it's a whatever investment for fun money.

    Update: it tipped at some point. Dangit. Still pretty cool and was able to get out. So that’s a plus
