Private Lander Reporting?

 Kevin Chang in the New York Times



A lander called Odysseus resides on the Moon as of Thursday night. This is a privately financed lander, fielded by the intuitive machines of Houston. 

This lander is not your lander. 

It's their lander.

As with a series of moon landings before, it was unclear immediately if the vehicle had landed gently enough to continue to operate.

Further word was that it was on its side but that it worked.
