TL;DR

Intuitive Machines, a private company, is set to make history by potentially becoming the first commercial company to land on the moon with its Odysseus spacecraft. The mission, sponsored by NASA, is part of a 21st-century race to the moon's south pole and aims to study the lunar surface with six science instruments.

The mission is scheduled to land on the moon on February 22, and NASA will be live streaming the event.
