Eine private Firma möchte eine Stadt am Mond bauen. Aber es muss zuerst eine Sonde landen – ISPACE wird seinen zweiten Versuch an einem Mondland am Donnerstag unternehmen.

From the article

A private space exploration company based in Japan, ispace, wants to see people living on the moon by 2040. They have plans to eventually build a city on the lunar surface that would house a thousand people and welcome thousands more for tourist visits.

But first, they need to land a probe on the Moon’s surface successfully. In April 2023, their first attempt fell short of that goal after they lost communication with their first lander during the mission’s final moments.

On Thursday at 3:17 p.m. ET, ispace will make its second attempt at an uncrewed moon landing with its lunar lander called Resilience.
