Great detail, thanks. Firefly's Blue Ghost was the second commercial company to land on the moon, after Intuitive Machines' IM-1 mission in February 2024.

Even though both landings where successful in that neither crashed, Firefly claims to be the first with a "fully successful" landing, because their lander landed upright and stable, while IM-1's lander tipped but remained operational.

This view is controversial, as Firefly's claim of being the first "fully successful" landing it not considered correct by everyone.
