Reply to comment by fringecar in Next month, Japanese company iSpace will become the first private company to deliver a lunar lander and commercial payload to the moon's surface. Two more private companies aim to follow them in 2023. Is this the start of a lunar economy? by lughnasadh
They’re not launching it, SpaceX is. So it's US launch capability. ispace made the lander and hired out the launch. Which is still cool!

Lmao SpaceX is going to beat Boeing to the moon despite them not making the rockets for the Artemis mission? Lmao. Absolutely embarrassing.

I don't think this would be the first (unmanned) lunar mission launched by SpaceX. Not sure how many there have been. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/04/science/korea-moon-spacex-launch.html
