Japan's private Resilience lunar lander went dark just before it was scheduled to touch down on the moon today (June 5), raising doubts about the venture's success.

A private space exploration company based in Japan, ispace, wants to see people living on the moon by 2040.

Resilience, ispace's second lunar lander, had problems measuring its distance to the surface and could not slow its descent fast enough.

Its aim is to accelerate exploration while lowering costs and encouraging commercial innovation. The Blue Ghost lander sits on the surface of the Moon in this artist’s concept.

Other companies will no doubt step forward. The advantage of going the commercial route is that it makes lunar exploration, especially the creation of a lunar base, sustainable.

Why is landing on the Moon so hard? Lunar exploration remains one of the most technically demanding frontiers in modern spaceflight.
