Shares of Intuitive Machines fell 21% in premarket trading after the company’s Odysseus moon lander, caught a footpad on the lunar surface and tipped over onto its side after coming down faster than expected and moving slightly to one side at the moment of touchdown Thursday, CBS News’ William Harwood reports. Steve Altemus, CEO and co-founder of Intuitive Machines, said Odysseus is still able to draw power from the sun and send engineering and science data back to Earth. “We’re downloading and commanding data from the buffers in the spacecraft and trying to get you surface photos because I know that everyone’s hungry for those,” Altemus said.
