Elon Musk's SpaceX successfully launched a rocket in the early hours of Thursday morning from Kennedy Space Center, setting off the first U.S. moon lander mission since 1972. It came not long after a SpaceX Falcon carrying an unknown payload launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida Wednesday afternoon. Minutes after the moon lander took off, SpaceX confirmed that Falcon completed launch and landing.

The SpaceX doubleheader came on the same day it was revealed members of Congress were made aware of Moscow's plan to put a nuclear weapon into space to target and destroy satellites the world depends on. NASA, the main sponsor with experiments on board, is hoping for a successful moon landing next week as it seeks to jumpstart the lunar economy ahead of astronaut missions in the next decade.

SpaceX´s Falcon rocket blasted off in the middle of the night, dispatching Intuitive Machines´ lunar lander on its way to the moon, 230,000 miles away. Intuitive Machines nicknamed its lander after Homer's hero in 'The Odyssey,' or 'Odie' for short. 'Godspeed, Odysseus. Now let´s go make history,' said Trent Martin, vice president of space systems. If all goes well, a touchdown attempt would occur February 22, after a day in lunar orbit.

Only five countries - the U.S., Russia, China , India and Japan - have scored a lunar landing and no private business has yet done so. The United States has not returned to the moon's surface since the Apollo program ended more than five decades ago.?'There have been a lot of sleepless nights getting ready for this,' Intuitive Machines´ co-founder and chief executive Steve Altemus said before the flight.

The Houston-based company aims to put its 14-foot tall, six-legged lander down just 186 miles shy of the moon´s south pole, equivalent to landing within Antarctica on Earth.?This region - full of treacherous craters and cliffs, yet potentially rich with frozen water - is where NASA plans to land astronauts later this decade. The space agency said its six navigation and tech experiments on the lander can help smooth the way. NASA´s first entry in its commercial lunar delivery service - Astrobotic Technology´s Peregrine lander - stumbled shortly after liftoff in early January.

A ruptured fuel tank and massive leak caused the spacecraft to bypass the moon and come tearing back through the atmosphere 10 days after launching, breaking apart and burning up over the Pacific. Others made it to the moon before wrecking. An Israeli nonprofit´s lander crashed in 2019. Last year, a Tokyo company saw its lander smash into the moon followed by Russia's crash landing. Only the U.S. has sent astronauts to the moon with Apollo 17´s Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt closing out the program in December 1972. That was it for U.S. moon landings until Astrobotic's short-lived try last month.

NASA is paying Intuitive Machines $118 million to get its latest set of experiments to the moon. The company also drummed up its own customers, including Columbia Sportswear, which is testing a metallic jacket fabric as a thermal insulator on the lander, and sculptor Jeff Koons, who is sending up 125 inch-sized moon figurines in a see-through cube.?The lander also is carrying Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University´s Eaglecam, which will snap pictures of the lan der as they both descend.

The spacecraft will cease operations after a week on the surface. The mission come as House Intel Chair Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio said members of Congress had been made aware of a threat related to Russia. It later emerged that it was related to Moscow 's plan to put a nuclear weapon into space to target and destroy satellites the world depends on, ABC News reported.

Turner asked the president to declassify the information so lawmakers could discuss the ramifications in the ominous warning that sparked a response from the White House and furious speculation. Moscow has already shown how it can be lethal from space by testing a hit-to-kill anti-satellite missile in 2021. Russia smashed a defunct spy satellite launched in 1982 into 1,500 pieces of debris in the strike and sparked fury around the world. In 2020, Moscow fired an anti-satellite weapon from its Cosmos 2543 satellite while in orbit.

Vladimir Putin has also threatened the West with his deadliest hypersonic missile yet that could speed into space and hit multiple targets on the ground. The nuclear-capable Avangard missile, which is repo rted to be able hit targets at 27 times the speed of sound, is seen in new footage installed in an underground launch silo in Russia's Orenburg region . The 20,000mph missile with a hypersonic glide vehicle will be able to leave the earth's atmosphere before striking any target in the world in less than 30 minutes, according to Moscow. Members of Congress or U.S. allies will not be allowed to openly talk about or work together on the threat until the report has been declassified. They are able to review the information related to 'destabilizing foreign military capability' in a secure location in the Capitol today and tomorrow.

'Today, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has made available to all Members of Congress information concerning a serious national security threat,' Turner (pictured) said. 'I am requesting that President Biden declassify all information relating to this threat so that Congress, the Administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions necessary to respond to this threat.' Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., was one of the first lawmakers to view the documents in the SCIF on Wednesday afternoon. He told reporters that the threat is 'not an immediate crisis but certainly something we have to be very serious about.' 'There?s a lot of very volatile things we have to address. This is one of them,' he added.
