odysseus, how do you feel about him?ng to win me over, it’s somehow strange, are you afraid of him? yes, why? because he can at any moment take him away, it’s not clear what he’ll do to me at all, well, what can he do with you, go somewhere in some small room , and what do olya and vanya tell you about him? well, the fact that he’s a foster father, the fact that he’s bad, maybe you don’t need to take him away, he’s bad, i’ll tell you about... hang everything, i talked to milana, she’s just humanly scared to be with a stranger, and this is the key in this story , thank god that there is ivan, that there is olga, that the girl has a key figure of a woman to whom she became attached after the loss of her mother, she feels like she is inside the family, she feels like she belongs in this family, and this is the most important thing. odysseus, your wife, catherine, your current wife, she knows that you are not the father , she still wants to take the child for herself, wait, let’s ask her why, and then we’ll talk to her, cath

welcome to the moon. >> houston, odysseus has -- >> an excellent call. this is our team of intuitive machines mechanics and their families, friends, everyone who has dedicated so much to make it this far. >> how about that call, gary? that was something else. a faint signal. now it is time to work on refining that signal. our mission director today making the call, odysseus has a new home. >> it shows disciplines of the flight controllers in nova control. he waited until there was absolute confirmation that there was a signal and that is when they took a moment to celebrate. it was not just the individuals in nova control that contributed to the mission. the contributions to enable the success of nova-c's landing on the moon stretches far and wide. we showed some of the folks watching but really it extends further than this. a wonderful and truly amazing moment to celebrate. the u.s. has landed on the moon, once again. >> everyone, you mentioned it goes beyond the folks we saw on camera, working through those tense moments, but their friends and family a

c-class lunar lander named odysseus. the process he's mentioning garry is very similar to the one that we were preparing ourselves for als to where the lander has systems in place to recycle its antennas, to switch antenna pairs. that was very similar to what we thought we were going to need to do after acquisition of signal when been separated from the second stage of the launch vehicle. if we made it to a certain point, the lander was autonomously program to start taking matters into its own hands. and that was it's the information that our mission director, dr. not dead yet we're also not dead yet >> we've been listening to mission control. it seems that kristen encouraging what we're hearing a lot of technical material being relayed, but it sounds encouraging correctly if i'm wrong, yeah, know, a lot of technical stuff, some nail-biting moments there, but we just got some good news in the last few minutes. you just heard a flight controllers say we've got signs of life standby, return, signal tracking or not dead yet

odysseus has found a new home. william, when you're heard that, give us your reaction this is a big beginning you know, it's it was a shame. we've seen so many could draw rooms explode into, into laughter and applause. and these, these men who had worked for you and women who had worked for you? years to make their mission. possibility, land and they're filled with the joy of this. this worked, we're doing something that has never been done before. here there's a small group, some dissolved three applause. we landed but it's huge. is, this is a huge event how many nations count them landed or attempted to land on the moon and failed >> we were >> possibly failing. >> but through a series of technical, technological advancement and also, i'm sorry to say it a great deal of human luck which should be important to note because law has many aspects. i was thrilled with the fact that this beginning as a success >> yeah, you're absolutely right. die once i heard the applause, it was so exciting. all of us, we're thrilled

odysseus er, odie >> yeah. yeah. jake, there's seven or eight cameras on this lander and i'm assuming that very shortly we'll see some of them fired up as the lander heads down closer to the surface. and hopefully we'll be he able to monitor that the team in houston and intuitive machines will be able to monitor that from some of those cameras and see the surface get closer. one of the ones that's most exciting to me is there's a, there's a small little mini satellite that gets ejected out of the lander. a small satellite i believe, built by students at embry-riddle university that gets ejected out of the lander that has cameras on it. and as it's falling to the surface, it's taking video or pictures of the land or land on the moon. i don't know if we'll get that live feed, but hopefully it'll hello revive and will get that down eventually. but lots of cameras. and so this should be hopefully a really exciting visual event for nasa and for intuitive machines and for commercial space, writ large, it's a big day for co

now, when mission control announced that odysseus has found its new home. tell us a little bit more about the significance of this mission and how it's success will be judged thanks for having me, jonah the significance of this mission is that what nasa is looking to do is to figure out ways in which it can do to really important things as it expands exploration back to the moon. that's it wants to be able to drive down costs. and that's also wants to be able to drive down risk. so we all know that getting to the moon is a difficult thing to do. it can be challenging, as we can see that only the most, the best prepared industrialized nations of the world can actually make this trip. and so in driving down costs nessa outsource is the work that will become a regular work as was described in the package. this is like a delivery service. so often we outsource delivery to some of the companies. we know well and this drives down the cost of doing that. nasa wants to do that as it builds up the infrastructure of establishing basis on the moon going forward into t

if it is successful, the odysseus would become the first commercial craft to land on the lunar surfaced the first american vessel to do so since the final apollo mission more than 50 years ago. let's speak to our science correspondent jonathan amos. always good to talk to you. there have been a lot of space missions over the last few months. what is particularly significant about this one, and where are we? i know the landing was pulled back, maybe in the next few hours, but pushed back again. jonathan: we are sort of back and forth a little bit this evening. currently, the projected time is 23:24 gmt, about three hours from now. they are making doubly sure they have this craft, odysseus, in the right order to begin the descent to the moon. that will start about one hour and a quarter before the projected touchdown time. there is a lot riding on this, as you alluded to, sarah. this is an attempt to make the first commercial landing on the moon, private companies, although it is carrying six nasa instruments, intuitive machines. the houston-based company is in charge, it has built the l
