  Jerome Powell may still be working on his soft landing, but over on the moon, it’s already been done.

  After teams on the ground fixed a last-minute navigation issue, the Houston-based company’s lander made it to the southern pole region of the moon around 6:30pm ET on Thursday, a week after it launched into space aboard a SpaceX rocket.
