"Odysseus Moon Lander Tipping Raises Questions About Lunar Surface Mission"

TL;DR Summary
The Odysseus moon lander, the first U.S.-based craft to land on the moon in over 50 years, may have tipped over during landing, according to NASA partner Intuitive Machines. Despite this, the majority of the lander's payloads are operational, and it has 100% battery power. The craft, which launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, has not yet sent images from the moon's surface, but one image taken during the flight has been released. Odysseus is carrying five NASA instruments and marked the first commercial-based landing on the moon in U.S. history.
