Ispace of Japan’s Resilience Lander Heads to the Moon: How and When to Watch
The New York TimesThursday, June 5, 2025 at 2:28:18 PM
Japan's private space company Ispace is giving the moon another shot with its new lander, Resilience, just hours after its first attempt ended in a crash last year. This time, they’re hoping for a smooth touchdown—and if you’re curious, there are ways to watch the action live.
Editor’s Note: Landing on the moon is hard—just ask Ispace, which saw its first lander bite the lunar dust in 2023. But their quick rebound with Resilience shows how private companies are pushing forward in space exploration, failures and all. If they stick the landing, it could mark a big step for commercial moon missions. And if not? Well, they’ve already proven they’re not giving up. Either way, it’s a reminder that space is still a high-stakes game of trial and error.
