Intuitive Machines' Odysseus, a private lunar spacecraft, is now en route to the moon. 
After its launch on February 15th, the Odysseus spacecraft has sent back its first Earth selfies. 
The mission is part of NASA's CLPS initiative, intending to support the Artemis program with six NASA and private payloads. 
Unlike Astrobotic's Peregrine which failed, Odysseus is healthy and aims for a February 22nd lunar landing. 
If successful, Odysseus will be the first private and the first American craft to land on the moon in over 50 years.
