Intuitive Machines Lander?

I missed the landing yesterday, ‘Doing a lot of nothing?’, but this video is worth watching after the first 17 minutes.

The Angry Astronaut tells us how important the IM-1 is, but it’s so small. NASA is testing small payloads, and the fuel used to restart the engine is liquid methane and liquid oxygen. 

Methalox is the future space fuel because it is easier to refurbish or reuse the engines that use Methalox fuel.

If you don’t know, the United States went back to the Moon on February 22, 2024!

Be sure to watch the last minute of Angry’s video, He’s Not Angry???

Starts at 4:25 the introduction.
