    Watching their faces and trying to figure out what was going on was a lot of fun. Glad to hear they made contact and I hope it’s not on its side.

      But a detailed assessment of the health of the spacecraft and its payloads awaited analysis of telemetry. Finally, two hours after touchdown, the company reported that “after troubleshooting communications, flight controllers have confirmed Odysseus is upright and starting to send data. Right now, we are working to downlink the first images from the lunar surface.”
