Houston-based Intuitive Machines successfully completed the second launch of its lunar lander mission at 7:17 p.m. EST Wednesday from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The company reached the lunar surface in 2024, and now its second lander aims to improve on the feat. Three other spacecraft also hitched a ride on the SpaceX rocket.

Blue Origin's 10th space tourism flight, nicknamed "Perfect 10," took off from West Texas on Tuesday. The six-person crew launched into suborbital space on the New Shepard Rocket and landed safely 10 minutes later. Franklin Institute chief astronomer Derrick Pitts joins "The Daily Report" to discuss.
