This marked the Houston-based company's second lunar mission. The first one, a little more than a year ago, suffered a problem with its laser rangefinders prior to landing. Although it touched down softly, this first lander reached the Moon going slightly faster than intended—and in a location with a steeper slope. It broke a landing leg and toppled over. However, even in this configuration, the Odysseus mission was able to generate power and complete a significant portion of its scientific objectives over the course of a week of activity on the Moon.

Intuitive Machines has not yet said precisely what happened in Athena's final moments before it reached the Moon on Thursday. However, in a news conference on Thursday afternoon, company officials confirmed that they had experienced another problem with the laser rangefinders. This caused the spacecraft to, again, not know precisely where it was relative to the surface of the Moon, or how high.
 

In Japan there is a custom of parking further away from the exit if you are early, this would allow people who are late to save time in finding a parking space and distance to travel​

One tradition I wish we would start in the U.S.
When you finish grocery shopping, and put your groceries in the car.
