- A privately-owned spacecraft headed for the Moon has blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket was used to launch the lunar lander, nicknamed Odysseus, with the hope that it will land on the Moon's south pole - where scientists predict there could be a source of water.
If all goes well, it will be the first time a private firm has successfully landed on the Moon.
It would also be the first US mission in 51 years to complete a soft touchdown on the lunar surface.

headline should definitively include "unmanned" because its misleading as hell

That damn Van Allen Belt
Why not mention SpaceX in the title lmao
its crazy a falcon is powerful enough to launch a small vehicle to the moon
is that a joke about the bird named Falcon and a rocket named after it? because NASA sent space craft there in 69... what's crazy is 7 people liked your comment. you must be on Fallons writers team. (Fallons writers team thing was a joke BTW, I love Fallon)
@@RyanVaudrinno a falcon is for low earth objects the fact it can send something to the moon is wild
oh so once you leave the earth space is an obstacle? yes yes gravity goes one for a long distance from earth but no resistance and diminished gravity is not a problem for something going 20000km and hour@@zacharythornton1904 and he said it was crazy not wild. wild i can believe. I mean there is a MAN HOLE cover, not code actual man hole cover) on its way to the outer reaches right now, thats crazy
saturn 5 vs falcon... nothing crazy there, wild sure but not crazy, a man hole cover headed to the outer reaches is crazy, look it up@@zacharythornton1904
The rocket is named after the Millennium Falcon@@RyanVaudrin
Why was this so low key?
Cause it's not manned.
@@-SUM1- - Japanese unmanned landing was covered much more.
"We want to go back to the moon in a sustainable way"
*Drills for water*
SpaceX saves the situation once again, the Falcon 9 workhorse. Media idiots need to take this into account when they report negatively about Starship. The most successful space company can, should, and needs to afford to try the impossible. That's how the future is created.
Reflection is key. People who stare at their phones all day can't see beyond their knee-jerk reactions to those who stare at the vast cosmos.
"Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed. In time, all points converge; hope's strength resteeled. But to earn final peace at the universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again." --A.B. (DD1)

Thank you 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸.
Old enough to remember the excitement surrounding the Surveyor 1 first U. S. soft-landing in the mid 1960s. Similar to now, there was a big manned or unmanned rocket launch every 2 months. Unlike today, these events broke into regular TV programming and it made headlines in the newspapers (you know, those printed words on parchment people used to read every day).
LOL ... greatest Fake moon landing story of 3 men walking on the moon in 1969 .... broadcast for mugs like you to rejioce over
As someone who was born 18th July 1969 this is something I have waited all my life for. So excited.
Awesome 😮
It's shocking they have made you wait so long for more development. Capitalism can be more of a hindrance to human endeavour than a help.
@@paulgibbons2320 You look like a socialist
@@Norman-j7m I have seen the documentaries think the scepticism is valid.
So you must also be sceptical about this article. If it is genuine or not.
What to see them actually landing humans onto the moon for the first time? Nah you might be dead by then lol
Can I just ask, why does your banner have to take up A QUARTER of the screen???
It's a maths lesson.
"Please watch this upcoming story we're showing you in the banner."
Then I go to watch it and can't see it because of another banner.
The BBC have an ego problem.
Because this broadcast is run by journalists, who are next to worthless whenever they do anything at all.
@@unotechrih8040
A real journalist goes out and does proper investigative work and is not biassed with the information. Today's so-called journalists are not worthy of that title; they just sit around in the office all day long watching the monitor and writing lies.
This is an historic step towards the ultimate goal of putting a permenently manned space station on the moon! Bravo!
Just Awesome and Well done!
And mining for Helium 3, much better fuel for spaceships.
How’s it historical when apparently men have already been on there? There should of been stations on the years ago come on
Nobody cares about this “ultimate goal” of more moon landings and expeditions to Mars. Everyone knows the whole point of it is so the rich and powerful can escape earth to live on a colony on Mars or in space. Like the stuff we’ve seen in millions of sci fi movies. (Only in reality it won’t work because we are nowhere near the technology and our bodies are not meant to adapt to space conditions)
Because they’ve screwed up the planet so badly that they would rather run than fix what’s broken.
ultimate goals that everyone would actually appreciate is world peace, saving the rainforests and oceans, stopping climate change, ending poverty, ext, ext.
@@Kenzothebully That was not in the agenda. Now, when we know that there are important resources on the Moon, there is a reason create permanent structures on the Moon and extract the resources to make space exploration orders of magnitude easier. The Moon is absolutely perfect for that job.
We claim to have landed in the moon 52 years ago when technology was not good at all, why cant we do it now just as flawlessly? Never happened lmao lets be honest
Money
@@user-yd6tm5ne2e yeah its all about money and there quick to take your money. Taxation us theft!
You're not being honest if you choose to reject all the overwhelming evidence for the Apollo missions taking place.
Usa faked it in the 60s just to claim to be first we weren't even smart enought to create cell phones let alone go to the moon common sense
Never humans have touched the surface of the moon.

Funny how the original moon landing was broadcast live over 50 years ago. ...... All in one day .........

@@narrativequestionmore like rocketry.
We did it in the 60’s and 70’s, why can’t we do it now. Makes you wonder………
Because in the 60s and 70s they had an enormous budget and backup in the form of the crew to take over if the computers fail (which they did)
Love how the main stream media makes sure not to mention SpaceX in the title when they launch cool things.
Yeh I noticed, why is that??
If any private company is launching stuff, they are most likely using spacex rockets. No need to advertise it every time in the title. We can assume they are using spacex rockets unless told otherwise.
Lastly, they are mentioned in the story and description.
Fantastic.. All the best.

Godspeed
they have never been on the Moon.
Actually we Americans have been to the moon before we have the evidence to prove it.
Well if it was so easy with 60s technology, there should be no issue in 2024
They lost the plans🤔
Well, it’s what they are saying.
Who said it was easy? People died and more almost did during the program
I bet you couldn't make a paper plane let alone help to engineer a space rocket you goon. What a waste of life you are.
😂😂😂😂
easy? apollo 1 killed 3 people and apollo 13 almost ended with dead people in space, plus every single mission was extremely dangerous compared to todays crewed spaceflight
we also have been doing space related things for 60 years, we just haven't been that interested in the moon for a while. I mean heck we've landed 9 things on mars (one of them can fly and flew 72 times) which is a pretty complex task. sure they weren't manned but this one isn't either and its launched by a company that today completed its 300th launch of the rocket used to launch the lander and its 200th landing IN A ROW of the first stage (we couldn't do that in the 60s, let alone 200 times)
Poor Moon. Why can't people just leave it alone!!
Moon doesn't have feelings, it isn't alive like humans and other animals. On top of that moon is slowly moving away from earth into the unknown darkness. We may not be able to see moon in hundred years.

Did they ever land ?
I wonder if there is any other technology that has regressed as much in 60 years as space travel.
Space travel itself is much more advanced nowadays. Sadly the motivation to explore isn't what it used to be.
How has space tech regressed? In the last few years nasa literally redirected an astroid...put a new telescope in orbit, tested flight on another planet and so on....
It’s a matter of cost. The fuckheads at Congress took away most of NASA’s budget so they were stuck with the inefficient Space Shuttle for a long while
That old rotten chestnut
@@leo_is_a_bakamotivation 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. It never happened. You know that!!! Yes you do
Great show the 2 of you and the crew. Thank you.
First one was a fake
Please do any amount of research into the impossibility of faking the lunar landings so thoroughly with late 60’s early 70’s tech
I thought that said Pirate spacecraft.

Awesome, the long awaited sequel
Still blowing my mind how we act like we are learning as we go while still claiming we already did this in the 60's 😅
TBH thats a good point. But my 1 question would bewhy would the Soviet Union not at the time have said America didnt get there?
I don't believe we went on moon, just because the Chinese haven't gotten there yet
After winning the space race, there was no incentive to go back to the moon. This simply marks the occasion when a private company first got to the moon.
No incentive? That's such a BS answer. There's massive incentive to get there. They never did in the first place@@Yku30
@@Yku30 they never went to the moon
So is this one real or fake??
this isn't manned right? i mean, we have been sending stuff to mars for a while. The moon is right next to us and we haven't gone back in a long time for some reason. Its really sad thinking that we still haven't managed to create a base anywhere other than the earth and low earth. Even now, we probably won't manage such a feat within a century.
If the moon was initially thought to be almost entirely composed of rock and dust…what would be the purpose of creating a base on that?
Who would fund that multibillion dollar project? You as a tax payer? For what reason?
To answer your questions, you have to consider economics and politics, not just the technological capabilities.
Its the cost, there is no profit to be made at the moment because the launch costs are to high. With Space X and their Starship system and blue origin and new glenn the cost of launching stuff to the moon will shrink rapidly. 2030s are gonna be a great for space nerds!

After 52 years ! Why did it took so long after the first mission ? Or is the first mission a fraud?
Other countries have landed on the Moon, but the U.S. hasn’t in a while since NASA’s budget has shrank by a lot since then, also no the Apollo missions were real
get a history book or ask google😊🙏🏻
A fraud? possibly. Another likley possibility is that the technology half a century ago made it VERY expensive and difficult to complete more missions. So people haven't tried it till the technology got better.
Its already occupied, you think they would tell us or let us know... War is taking place up there, ive seen it.
The old vehicle was discontinued and it takes a long time to develop new space vehicles for this kind if mission. Also before now it was public money that was used so therefore they had to have a good reason to do it again and it used to be far more expensive than it is now. Also no matter how many times it is done it will never be simple. It’s a complex task where alot can go wrong very quickly.

So far, space exploration has revealed that there is little to no chance of human survival outside the one planet we know supports it, planet earth. Time, money, and effort would be better spent dealing with earth's problems, in my humble opinion.
... what this is a complete lie. And research suggests the latter that we can't fix humans and thus planet and while no other planet supports life naturally they easily can be changed to work..... but yes they are long distance goals.
And if we stopped all space exploration today. Do you seriously think they would use the money to make a better world?
There have been many technologies that were discovered by NASA / space research that have practical applications.
It's the equivalent of telling Galileo to stop studying the solar system by the Church.
In my arrogant and self-aggrandizing opinion, I agree with you.

@@paladro That's not even close to true - We didn't even have any real computers back then.
Landing in the 60's cost over a quarter trillion dollars (Accounting for inflation), compared to falcon H's 90 million. Additionally, the US taxed the people and the world into starvation to pay for it, and with recourses, and foreign manpower, it was closer to several trillion.
Also, we're not the same country we were in the 60's. Degenerate ideologies, and the collapse of the west have crippled us.

What's hard to believe is your lack of intelligence. We have humans who can build wonderful things like space rockets and submarines. Then we have people like you. A Goon. What a waste of space you are. Get back on your flat earth sites you waster.
Small chances but GL.
Temperature in the Vacuum of Space, all 238,855 Miles to the Moon, is MINUS 270 degrees Celsius. Withstanding the pressure of the vacuum of Space for that journey will be more challenging than the Ocean pressure faced by the TITAN submarine visiting the Titanic . The Titan only had to travel 13,000 Feet.
There is zero external pressure in space. It’s much easier than operating deep in the ocean
We already did it in a small capsule made of aluminium alloys. This is not the prohibitive factor.
They wouldn't back ambitions with money until now.
I don’t think there is compressive external pressure in a vacuum. You get that in the ocean due to the weight of the water surrounding the vessel.
And you do?@SergeiTorockov
All that pressure, yet we landed a thing like a homeless shelter on it….
Oh its not manned anymore its now crewed space programme
How much did the Tax payer have to cough up for this hobby of a multi-billionaire.
American PRIVATE mission .. come on, at least think before you type. NASA have bought passage on Musks' rocket. Your comment makes zero sense
Omg this isn’t a personal hobby of musk you dumbass
It’s a mission for CLPS which is a low cost lunar lander program that funds private lander missions from NASA. SpaceX is just the launch provider (and they’ve saved NASA billions by NASAs estimates)
The lander is built my Intuitive Machines and the most NASA had to pay was the payloads onboard which cost 77 million
That might sound like a lot but when you realise that’s the same as Chandrayaan 3 it’s actually very low cost for what they get
You people need to stop talking about stuff you don’t understand especially if it’s just because of some creepy obsessive hatred
Not much. NASA bought payload slots on the IM-1 lander, they didn’t fund they entire thing
Finally 52 years leter he we go again..
This all make the Apollo missions unbelievable .
It really doesn't
Not at all lmao
Believe it
Congratulations
It's interesting how with technology far advanced compared to 1969, 50% of landing attempts fail, and yet I'm supposed to believe that Apollo landed men on the surface 70 years ago without a hitch. When is the world going to swallow its pride and admit the truth about Apollo? Personally, I don't expect to see a manned landing before 2050. Why so long? Because it is incredibly difficult and it will be the first time that mankind does it. It's always harder the first time.
Over 50% of robotic missions failed. But the key here is how the missions are done
Apollo was a human landing program with an enormous budget. Those humans could and did take over if the computers failed. As they did on Apollo 11
This lander is part of CLPS Which is a low cost lander program that funds HIGH RISK yet high reward systems to land payloads on the moon. If the computers fail there’s no one to take over and correct for it
@@weekiely1233 I wonder how much money has been invested collectively over the years into landing anything on the moon since Apollo? Also, if having humans onboard is such an advantage, why haven't we seen further manned landings? Sorry, I've lost confidence in the whole thing. I'm now 78 years old and I am pretty confident that I will not see a manned landing in my lifetime.
@@pcastonguay not much. Apollo had $257 billion in funding. This mission cost $77 million.
The whole issue is that they stopped giving NASA money to do this stuff so missions like rovers and orbiters became a priority.
Remember NASA gets 0.5% the budget
Without a hitch? So you're completely ignoring the deaths on Apollo 1, the loss of mission during Apollo 13, the almost aborted Apollo 11 landing, amongst the many other issues?
@@pcastonguay Multiple reasons. The main reason being there just wasn't much reason to go to the moon. The space race had come to an end and we found it would be a lot cheaper and useful to study science in LEO. Today we're getting experiments of 3D printing organs such as retinas in zero gravity where as on earth it would not be possible.
Now with Starship and possibly New Glenn. It allows for us to pursue a greater purpose on the moon. Allowing for larger and heftier payloads to be deployed onto the moon. Allowing for a more permanent settlement sort of like the ISS, but just on the moon.
It also will allow us to set up better radio telescopes. The dark side of the moon allows us to block out most human radio signals.
