TL;DR Summary

NASA's historic return to the lunar surface was marred by the Odysseus lander's sideways landing, resulting in catastrophic damage as it toppled over near the Moon's south pole. Despite the tumble, the lander successfully delivered data from all six NASA instruments on board, but engineers are racing against time to download as much data as possible before lunar night plunges the lander into complete darkness. There's still hope that the lander may recover after the two-week-long night, as seen with Japan's Smart Lander for Investigating Moon.
