Private Company Rockets towards the moon in the latest rush from Mondland tests

Cape Canaveral, Florida (AP) – A private company starts another moonlander towards the moon. The Intuitive Machine Lander shot down on Wednesday on board SpaceX from Florida. It brings a quick route to the moon with a landing next week and aims at the South Pole. Last year, intuitive machines have been doing the first US touchdown on the moon for more than 50 years. But the country came down too hard and tipped over to the side. This time the company sends a drone that hops into a crater in search of frozen water. NASA also has a drill that pierces under the surface to collect soil samples.
