What are you on about? Literally the only people to ever make a lunar lander were NASA??

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works -2 points 11 months ago

No that one was designed by Grumman. NASA contracted with them for the design, like they're looking to do with the new lander with SpaceX. Blue Origin and Dynetics were also options, but their proposals had huge flaws and were deemed much more risky than SpaceX, which is saying something.
