Giant leaps start in Houston | Today, Intuitive Machines officially opened the doors to its cutting-edge Lunar Production and Operations Facility at the Houston Spaceport!

In the coming days, Intuitive Machines will package and ship its Nova-C Lunar Lander ahead of its maiden voyage to the Moon.

“Houston has always been a city that reaches for the stars, and with Intuitive Machines operating at the Houston Spaceport, our city is poised to shine even brighter in the cosmos,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner. “Aerospace is more than a source of pride for our city, the innovation here is just another example why the Houston economy is thriving.
