    Congratulations! LUNR is the first commercial entity to land (sideways though) on the moon. Whoever deserves it more?

    I am curious though their long term relationships with SpaceX. On this path LUNR is going to be a serious competitor one day, especially if working with other rocket companies like Rocket Lab. But it is a good thing in general for the US.

    I’m glad they are starting to cost appropriate amounts, $117M is way more realistic than $75M.Â
