Good morning America.

Historic moonshot where no human has been before.

O'vernight, a lot of excitement over the first American moon landing in half a century.

Who else?

But our transportation correspondent, Jill Benitez, would be here to break down a historic return

to the moon and the future of the space race

Oh, thank you, my friend.

This is a major milestone for space exploration because this little spacecraft has landed in an

unexplored area of the moon, the South Pole, and if there's truly water there, as we think

to get to Mars and beyond. This morning the US celebrating that historic

landing where no human has been before the South Pole of the moon.

We can confirm, without a doubt,
