Firefly Aerospace achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first commercial company to successfully land on the Moon with its Blue Ghost lander. Touching down on Mare Crisium under a NASA contract, the landing was met with excitement among the engineers and spectators. CEO Jason Kim highlighted the meticulous planning and execution behind the mission. This successful landing sets Firefly apart as the second commercial entity to land on the Moon, following another company's partial success earlier this year. The achievement is a testament to innovation and teamwork in aerospace.
Every single thing was clockwork, even when we landed. After we saw everything was stable and upright, they were fired up.
We got some Moon dust on our boots; we have a really big future ahead of us.
