A popular YouTube channel has worked with me to create another video based on my Moon Monday blog+newsletter, this time on the next three Moon landing missions by Intuitive Machines for NASA as part of the agency’s CLPS program.

Note: I didn’t choose the video title. My job is to provide the core info. The title doesn’t make much sense to me but I do think the channel team did a great job with the video itself.

The video is based on four Moon Mondays:

Moon Monday #189: The next lunar missions by Intuitive Machines for NASA CLPS, and more things that orbit Luna
Moon Monday #191: A stream of CLPS and Artemis lunar mission updates
Moon Monday #166: An intuitive 98% success
NASA is funding a Moon mission to the magnetic swirl of Reiner Gamma
