US Moon lander Odysseus 'still kicking' a week after sideways touchdown

Odysseus, the US spacecraft, nears shutdown due to a sideways landing disrupting communications and affecting solar chargers. Nasa extracted some data, but data loss extent is uncertain. Intuitive Machines' shares declined. Odysseus landed beside a crater wall, leaning at a 12-degree angle. It tipped over due to catching its landing leg on the lunar surface.
