That's an impressive school project! First university to land on the moon

Unless they would have build and operated the rocket themself (and not SpaceX), I would consider that a false clickbait headline.

A decade ago, maybe. Today? SpaceX is commoditizing access to space - we're at the point we can start treating Earth-orbit delivery as a given, i.e. just a service you pay money for.

Earth orbit maybe. But here we are at earth-moon. And the lander is not build or operated by the school/university either.

Flying to the moon is the easy part. Landing is the trick.

Flying is not so easy either, and the landing is done by the private company, not by the school.

Weight it by funding and I’ll bet you the school cube sat comes out far ahead.
