AP News says that two NASA-launched lunar landers had been slated to become the US's first moon landing attempts—these would be unmanned—in over 50 years next month, but the first one to launch, on a Lockheed/Boeing/Blue Origin "Vulcan" rocket, has suffered a "critical" fuel leak hours after launch that appears likely to prevent its Moon landing. Intuitive Machines' lander, taking a more direct route, is due to launch on a SpaceX rocket next month. ~~~~
