This undated image provided by ispace in November 2022 depicts the HAKUTO-R Mission 1 lunar lander on the surface of the moon. – A Tokyo company aimed for the moon with its own private lander Sunday, blasting off atop a SpaceX rocket with the United Arab Emirates’ first lunar rover and a toylike robot from Japan that’s designed to roll around up there in the gray dust.The company ispace designed its craft to use minimal fuel to save money and leave more room for cargo.
Emirates project manager Hamad AlMarzooqi said landing on an unexplored part of the moon will yield “novel and highly valued” scientific data. In addition, the lunar surface is “an ideal platform” to test new tech that can be used for eventual human expeditions to Mars. Hitching a ride on the rocket was a small NASA laser experiment that is now bound for the moon on its own to hunt for ice in the permanently shadowed craters of the lunar south pole.
Only Russia, the U.S. and China have achieved so-called “soft landings” on the moon, beginning with the former Soviet Union’s Luna 9 in 1966. And only the U.S. has put astronauts on the lunar surface: 12 men over six landings.

GO for Japan. All these rockets to space, as pa would say, 'play hell' with the weather. The whole universe is connected by radii as Hawking said, and is the stabilizer of chaos. Everybody wants a piece of that cheese.
