Earlier today, Intuitive Machines posted these images on Twitter/X showing Earth as it slowly shrank in the distance while the Odysseus lunar lander headed to the Moon.
These photos were taken shortly after Odysseus separated from its Falcon 9 second stage booster following launch on Thursday morning. In the pic directly below, you can see the SpaceX rocket engine floating above Earth as the six-legged lander left it behind.
Odysseus continues to be in excellent health according to Intuitive Machines...and the spacecraft's lunar landing attempt remains scheduled for next Thursday, February 22.
Here's hoping that it'll continue to be smooth sailing for Odysseus as it aims to become the first privately-made lander to safely soft-land on the Moon! Stay tuned.
