With the landing of an American probe, Joe Biden welcomes a “new era of space exploration”. Texas-based Intuitive Machines, the first private company to land on the Moon, announced Friday that its probe likely ended up lying on one side instead of landing vertically.
“America is once again leading the world to the Moon’s south pole,” Joe Biden said in a statement, citing President John F. Kennedy, who pushed the Apollo program in the 1960s. Because the moon landing Thursday is the first from an American device since the end of the legendary program in 1972.
