Firefly’s Blue Ghost lander successfully touched down on the moon


The lander touched down softly at 3:34AM ET on March 2. It's expected to remain operational for about 14 days, until lunar night begins.

The company, which is working with NASA under the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program, announced early Sunday morning that its Blue Ghost lander softly touched down on the moon, and it’s upright and communicating with the team back home. A charity games bundle that's supporting wildfire relief efforts in Southern California includes hundreds of titles, such as Tunic, Octodad: Dadliest Catch, Hidden Folks and SkateBird. In the latest edition of Engadget's weekly deals roundup, we found discounts on gear from Apple, Anker, Samsung and Rad Power ebikes.
