Firefly Aerospace’s blue ghost Lander landed out of the moon orbit in the Moon orbit in a coup basin on the northeast of the moon.

Firefly, Lander’s chief engineer Firefly’s Will Coogan, “You all put up landing. You stayed on the Moon.” He said.
A steep and stable landing made Firefly the first private company to put a spacecraft in the moon without hitting or falling. Some governments working on space flight failed in the past because only five countries – Russia, USA, China, India and Japan – were successful.

About half an hour after the descent, the Blue Ghost began to send pictures from the surface. The first image was a selfie a little hidden from the glow of the sun.
