Yesterday, unmanned spaceprobe Odysseus landed on the Moon, making it the first commercial vehicle to land there.

Heard this morning that it lost its navigational system before landing, but there was an experimental thing on board (from NASA I think they said?) that has to do with navigation, and though it was operating separately from the lander they were able to tap into that and use it to land. Guess it's good it was on there!

Not to mention successful for something only "experimental."
