Two companies will attempt the first US moon landings

China and India have achieved successful moon landings, contrasting with Russia, Japan, and Israel, whose lunar endeavors fell short.

Now, two private enterprises are racing to reinvigorate U.S. lunar exploration, marking a return to the space race over five decades after the conclusion of the Apollo program.

This initiative, backed by NASA, aims to jumpstart commercial moon deliveries, aligning with the space agency’s renewed emphasis on returning astronauts to the lunar surface.

“They’re scouts going to the moon ahead of us,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.

Leading the charge is Pittsburgh’s Astrobotic Technology, scheduled for a liftoff on Monday, deploying a lander using United Launch Alliance’s new rocket, Vulcan, the Associated Press reported.
