believe that she will likely deal with arthritis when she gets older. dan ama, now back to you okay. >> all right jr thank you. now to america's historic return to the moon a houston based company successfully guided an unmanned lunar lander to its surface the first time the united states has done so in more than 50 years. it marks a milestone in space exploration and kicks off what we may start to call the lunar economy. >> it's really fascinating, actually. but as abc news reporter jacqueline lee explains, the mission did not go off entirely as planned. >> it was a nail biter. the countdown to touchdown was watched around the world. lunar lander odysseus making history, marking the first time the u.s. landed on the surface of the moon in more than 50 years. >> welcome to the moon, nasa administrator bill nelson, emphasizing how historic this moment is, calling it the landing of a lifetime. >> odysseus has taken the moon. >> this feat is a giant leap
