CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Landing a spacecraft on the moon has long been a series of hits and misses and now a U.S. company is the first private outfit to achieve a touchdown. Only five countries have done it. Intuitive Machines says its spacecraft landed on the moon Thursday but promptly tipped over on its side. Another U.S. company tried to send a lander to the moon last month, but had to give up because of a fuel leak. Both businesses are part of NASA’s effort to support commercial deliveries to the moon.
