TL;DR Summary

NASA's Moon lander, the Odysseus, built by Intuitive Machines, suffered catastrophic damage upon landing near the Moon's south pole, tipping over and scraping along the surface. Despite the mishap, it managed to deliver data from all six NASA instruments on board. Engineers are racing against time to download as much data as possible before lunar night, which will cut off solar power generation. There's a small chance the lander may recover after the two-week-long night, as seen with Japan's Smart Lander for Investigating Moon.
