NASA ‘Athena’ Lander is set to touch the surface of the moon
Fox News Senior Correspondent Jonathan Serrie joins ‘The FaulKner Focus’ to discuss Nasa’s Moon Lander who descends to the moon surface and a stranded astronaut who claims that politics played a role in postponing his picking up.
A Moonlander made his touchdown on the moon Earlier on Thursday, but controllers on the ground could not confirm the condition of the Athena Lander at the landing, the Associated Press reported. In addition to his condition, the location of where the country landed is also unclear.
The lander, who is owned by intuitive machines, wore an ice exercise, a drone and two robbers. Athena was apparently able to communicate with his controllers, the Associated Press reported, stating civil servants.
Mission director and co-founder Tim Crain was heard that the team says to “continue to work on the problem”, despite the fact that the vessel sends clear “recognitions” to the team in Texas.
