Cedar Park, United States - March 02, 2025 A jaw-dropping moment unfolded as the Blue Ghost lunar lander softly touched down on the Moon’s surface, marking a historic first for a private firm. Video evidence captured the stunning landing in Mare Crisium at 2:34 a.m. CST on March 2, 2025. With pinpoint precision, it settled upright near Mons Latreille, its shock-absorbing legs nailing the 100-meter target as part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services push. CEO Jason Kim was ecstatic. “We’re over the Moon – literally,” he grinned. “Video shows Blue Ghost acing the landing with 10 NASA payloads onboard. This bold team has proven we can deliver reliable Moon access. Yearly missions will keep us there for good.” The footage is unreal – Blue Ghost’s legs cushion the impact, locking it stable and upright. Inertial readings back it up, and from Cedar Park’s Mission Ops Center, the crew’s already steering it with perfect comms post-landing. Tech chief Shea Ferring chimed in: “That landing was the hard part – video proves it. Now we’re set for 14 days of surface action, pushing commercial space boundaries.” The 45-day, 2.8-million-mile trek already beamed NASA a record 27 GB of data. With the toughest bit crushed, as the clip shows, the team’s ready for more lunar glory. Loaded with 10 NASA instruments, Blue Ghost’s landing launches a 14-day lunar day of science ops. Updates will hit the Blue Ghost Mission 1 page, while NASA’s Artemis blog spills extra payload details. That epic landing video screams it loud – private space just hit the big time!
