We'll be wrapping up our live coverage of a historic day in commercial space exploration - thanks for following along.
If you missed it earlier, we had it confirmed that Odysseus successfully landed on the surface of the Moon - after a nervous wait in which the team lost communications with the spacecraft.
But after those agonising moments, the team reported it landed intact and is transmitting - officially making Intuitive Machines the first commercial company to successfully land a spacecraft on the lunar surface.
It remains unclear, however, whether the spacecraft will still be able to achieve its goals near the south pole of the Moon, as the team scramble to work out what kind of condition it is in.
The Houston-based company aims to send another spacecraft in March that would drill to find underground ice scientists believe to be in the southernmost tip of the Moon's surface.
Irrespective of how the mission pans out from here, the landing marks an important milestone for commercial spacecraft and for the US space industry.
It is potentially the beginning of a new era in private-public space missions, which is clearly reflected in the excitement from Nasa and from the Intuitive Machines machine here on earth.
