US spacecraft Odysseus tipped sideways on lunar surface but 'alive & well'

The lunar lander, Odysseus, remains in good condition despite being currently tilted on its side, one day after its successful landing. This signifies a groundbreaking milestone as it becomes the first privately-owned spacecraft to reach the moon's surface. Intuitive Machines, headquartered in Houston, revealed that the failure of the spacecraft's laser-based range finders was due to human error.
