In one small step toward lunar commercialization, the first-ever privately funded lander touched down on March 2, 2025 on the moon’s surface.
The lander, named Blue Ghost, launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Jan. 15, 2025, then travelled more than 2.8 million miles before safely coming to rest in a 300-mile-wide basin near a volcanic feature called Mons Latreille on the moon.
