An attempt at the first privately funded lunar landing is about to take place, and you can watch a live stream of the effort in 2 hours.
The privately built Hakuto-R Series 1 lander is carrying two small moon rovers: the Sora-Q and the Rashid, built by the United Arab Emirates space agency.
The mission is primarily a test event aimed at proving iSpace’s ability to successfully land a payload on the lunar surface.
@thewebrecluse THANK YOU for this alert. This is a BIG event in history.
@codeWhisperer Its HUGE even if they don't manage the landing it's an amazing collaboration by several countries, businesses, and teams. No privately funded companies have managed this yet ... so I'm really looking forward to Japan accomplishing this. ❤️

I had to step away, where's it at?
@b4cks4w @codeWhisperer Still in occultation ... will be reestablishing communication when it reaches the other side of the moon shortly.
As I write this we're about 15 minutes from touchdown
Thanks for putting this out there, Elaine. It's amazing.
@FernLovebond @b4cks4w @codeWhisperer Glad to have been able to share this historic moment with everyone ❤️
