The landing of a first commercial spacecraft on the Moon has sparked excitement about a new age of possibilities in the Solar System.
News of the touchdown of Odysseus near the lunar south pole was greeted with cheers by staff at American firm Intuitive Machines' (IM) mission control in Houston, Texas, on Thursday.
It is the first time an American craft has successfully landed on the Moon since 1972 - and the first time ever that a private company has done so.
But the giant leap for commercial kind could also help future state missions to the lunar surface and perhaps even aid plans to set up a lunar - or Martian - base for humans.
