The lunar lander Odysseus, created by Houston-based company Intuitive Machines, successfully landed on the moon's surface at 6:24p ET Thursday and has sent back its first images.

Retired NASA Astronaut Leland Melvin, CNN's Space and Defense Correspondent Kristin Fisher, and CNN's Aerospace Analyst Miles O'Brien talks to Anderson Cooper about the historic landing.
