IM-1 has also been successfully deployed. We'll likely see the first private "soft" moon landing in history and the first from the US in decades.

- dgrin91 3y agoTo temper expectations a bit - last month another private company attempted the same and had a problem in-flight, eventually leading to basically a failure of mission. Hopefully IM-1 doesn't run into any issues, but landing on the moon is hard. I think of the last 10 or so moon landers, only ~50% actually successfully landed. Most recently Japan managed to accidentally land upside down! So best of luck to IM-1, but don't count your chickens yet.
