Intuitive Machines President and CEO Steve Altmus sits down with Yahoo Finance's Akiko Fujita at the 2024 Milken Conference to talk about some of the regulatory risks in expanding into commercial space projects, as well as the excitement around several of the company's latest plans and lunar crafts. "Well, we designed and developed a mission to the Moon at a price point that was roughly $118 million and did it in about four years. We have totally disrupted the industry in terms of the economics of flying to the Moon. That's a success," Altmus says on Intuitive Machines' work with NASA. "You look at then how we operated the mission through all of the challenges and tribulations on heading out to the Moon over 300,000 miles out there. And we solved every problem on the way there."
