Lunar Triumph: Firefly's Blue Ghost Nails Perfect Moon Landing

In a groundbreaking feat, Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander is now the first-ever private spacecraft to successfully perform a moon landing. Landing on March 2, 2025, Blue Ghost heralds a new age for commercial lunar travel. The triumph comes after last year's partial success when Intuitive Machines' Odysseus landed but rolled over. Blue Ghost's mission to visit the Sea of Crises signifies increasing private industry capabilities in space. With the backing of NASA, these private missions are opening the door for future crewed flight and a long-term presence on the moon. The moon race is intensifying as more countries and private firms target lunar opportunities.
