Private US spacecraft is on its side on the moon.

Private U.S. lunar lander Odysseus, built by Intuitive Machines and carrying six NASA experiments, successfully touched down on the moon's surface.

The $118 million mission is part of NASA's efforts to commercialize lunar deliveries ahead of planned astronaut returns in a few years.
