Behind the black, Bob Zimmerman is here. Blue Ghost, the success on the surface of the moon.

What about it, Bob?

Yes, we'll do a good and a bad report here for the moon.

First, Blue Ghost, it's been completely successful.

This is from the company Firefly.

It's now just past noon on the moon, and Blue Ghost not only has activated has activated nine of ten of the instruments on board

and have they complete their tasks, one of which was a NASA drill, which drilled down

into the surface.

I've got video of that drilling on behind the black, if you want to see it, it's linked up.

So that's very successful.

And then last night there was a lunar eclipse where the Earth's shadow crossed the moon over five hours,

and you could watch the moon go dark and come back to life.

It was in a wee hours of morning, so a lot of people wouldn't see it, but Blue Ghost did see it, but saw it from the moon.

So what it did, and I've got this on behind the blog, it took a great picture of the Earth covering the sun.

It's quite spectacular.

It's not the first time a lunar land orbiter has gotten such an eclipse, but it's the first time our private company has done it.

So Blue Ghost is doing great, John that's it's now winding down the

last week of its operations before lunar night and it'll do more stuff whether it'll survive

the night is an unknown but we shouldn't what is the primary mission just to get there and

engineering mostly yes and has science instruments they're doing science research but this is

mostly proving a private company can do it

and this will just accelerate the use down the road the second this in the same with the context
