intuitive machines behind the mission. the lander named odyssey, has reached the moon this afternoon, six days after launching from florida's kennedy space center. nasa helped fund the project with $118 million. the lander carried six nasa experiments. it also brought insulating fabric from columbia sportswear cameras and sculptures from a famous artist. but it'll be a really important next step in establishing more of a longer time presence on the moon and testing new technologies for landing on the moon. >> landing on the southern part of the lunar surface. >> researchers hope odysseus can find ice crystals that could be turned into water, oxygen and even fuel. nasa is spending $2.6 billion with several us companies to deliver technology to the moon over the next few years, an outpouring of support for one south bay pie shop after one company backed out of a large order, leaving them with thousands of desserts. >> coming up, how the community is rallying behind the owner, 75, says 75 degrees is in the forecast. >> i'll s

intuitive machines. >> and now as the >> nasw administrator just said, this is a white moment for this mission. and so what happens next? >> it could either crash on the moon. >> it could drift off into space. we just don't know yet intuitive machines. this is a really small team. this is a smoke company. they're operating on a shoestring budget, just $100 million. >> and >> they have put so much into this, you have to imagine that that mission control right now is just on the edge of their seat trying to scramble and figure out a solution to this. >> let's hope they figure it out and get this dasa equipment to do what they failed to do to begin with this as a really sensitive moment, indeed, miles, how would a failure tonight? you hope there isn't a failure, but how would a failure that impact future missions to the moon? >> oh they'll keep pressing on wolf. this is part of a long running program. this commercial, commercial lunar payload services program that nasa is doing to try to create a robust commercial enterprise on the moon everything they do up to the possible sibley landing or not

intuitive machines. the houston-based company is in charge, it has built the lder, bought the rocket. missiontrol is in houston and it is in charge. nasa is a customer. paid intuitive machines $100 million to get its instruments to the south pole. we have not seen the americans in any guise, commercial or government-backed, put down on the lunar surface softly since apollo 17. extraordinary really. december 1972. the americans have not been back since. there is quite a lot riding on this. sarah: what is the significance, what are they hoping to test out, show, explore in this mission? jonathan: the key thing here is they are going toward the sample. they are going to about 80 degrees south. no one has put anything down that far south before. we had the indians had a fantastic landing august last year. they went to about 69 degrees south, but this will be the furthest south anyone has been. it's a really interesting part of the moon, very rough, lots of mountains, but there are craters there that are permanently shadowed. sunlight in some places have not fallen on the bottom of those craters f

. >> reporter: mission control of intuitive machines in houston, the first commercial moon landing everhe lunar surface, a continuous engine burn for 10 minutes. peered by touchdown, odysseus had slowed to 2 miles . >> this is the assembly room. >> reporter: intuitive: founder steve altemus showed us moon lander last year in houston. his company envisions a $100 billion lunar market lunar market. >> we are delivering scientific payloads, engine payloads, but not the humans themselves. >> reporter: you believe the moon is the next economic frontier? >> the moon is certainly that next step for space exploration. >> reporter: odysseus landed near the lunar south pole, carrying less than 300 pounds of cargo, including six instruments for nasa, and intuitive customer. the space agency hopes to have astronauts moonwalking there by the end of the decade. some craters there never see light, so cold they may contain ice, and water is critical to long-term space exploration. >> nasa plans to basically hire these companies to send payloads to the moon like you call an uber horse between six come u

missions. it's also a big win for spacex. intuitive machinession, but it was a falcon 9 rocket that carried the craft into space. nasa's a a pri customer for the flight, but the lander is also transporting cargo from other customers. >> 80% of our business is nasa, government-related business. and 20% is commercial. i would like to grow this commercial piece of the business more significantly, growing it to 40-50%. >> reporter: one of those customers is columbia sportswear. they plan if to test a heat reflective material that they use in their jackets against the extreme temperatures of space. now, the intuitive lander will be insulated from outer space by columbia's omni heat tech. here's the chairman and ceo on your show earlier this beak. this week. >> we use it for, you know, maintaining temperature, body temperature for consumers, buts this is being used to protect products in space when there's nobody else around to help them. and this is going to be a fairly interesting and really important opportunity to study space and study the moon.

marking the first american-made spacecraft to land on the moon in 50 years, nasa and intuitive machines are declaring this mission a success. we have seen in space and defense correspondent kristin fisher here with us. all right. so officials just held a press conference tell us what you're learning and also what we're seeing in these images. i mean, first and foremost, we got the images that we've been waiting for since last thursday when odysseus first touchdown on the surface of the moon. and i want to pop the money shot up right? now because brianna, that's the image that everybody has wanted to see. it is of odysseus on the surface of the moon. and you can see it's just kind of tilted over about 30 degrees. that is where it just didn't quite stick the landing, brianna, but you can clearly see the moon in the background for all the doubters out there, like perhaps even your co-anchor, boris yesterday >> it is >> now the company and nasa saying, look, it is proof that we are there and then there's another image that's also pretty cool that just came out. and it is of odysseus landing just seconds before landin

. >>> and space exploration company intuitive machines began its a inaugural mission on a falcon 9 rocket. the lander, it will be the first u.s. lunar landing in over 50 years. i can't believe it's been that long. >> all right, our cnbc money minute for us there, julia, thank you. >>> and coming up, shooting star college basketball's caitlin clark is on the verge of making history. the impressive record she is set to break tonight. >>> plus, a florida deputy caught on camera firing his weapon after claiming to hear gunshots. >> shot fired! >> luckily, no one was hurt and >> luckily, no one was hurt and the sound is officer said ♪ upbeat music ♪ asthma. it can make you miss out on those epic hikes with friends. step back out there, with fasenra. fasenra is an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks. fasenra helps prevent asthma attacks. most patients did not have an attack in the first year. fasenra is proven to help you breathe better so you can get back to doing day-to-day activities. and fasenra helps lower the use of oral steroids. fasenra is not for s
