A lunar love letter 💘
Dear Moon,
I know things have been rocky. As a token of my love and affection, I am sending you a gift. It’s not exactly flowers, I know, but hopefully this Intuitive Machines lunar lander will demonstrate my love… as well as the precision landing technologies and communication capabilities needed to land humans on your face.
SpaceX is shipping your gift no earlier than Wednesday, Feb. 14 at 12:57 a.m. EST (0557 UTC) from Launch Complex 39A at NASAKennedy Space Center in Florida. Your present should arrive at your doorstep on Thursday, Feb. 22. (Tracking is included.)
You deserve so much more than just one gift, so along with this Nova-C lander, I am sending six NASA science and technology instruments. Because I could study you for a lifetime, these instruments are designed to notice the details — such as your dust plumes, radio emissions, and space weather interactions.
Will you be my Valentine? Please say yes.
Love, Earth
