We at Mondoo are huge NASA fans and we want to dedicate the name to the NASA Ranger missions whose objective was to obtain the first close-up images of the surface of the Moon. These missions, which were the first American spacecraft to land on the moon, helped lay the groundwork for the Apollo program.
