Private Japanese lander sets distance record on its way to the moon

https://www.space.com/ispace-hakuto-r-m ... nce-record

A private Japanese lander set a record last month on its long and looping journey to the moon.

The Hakuto-R spacecraft got 855,000 miles (1.376 million kilometers) from Earth on Jan. 20, thus "becoming the farthest privately funded, commercially operating spacecraft to travel into space," representatives of Tokyo-based company ispace, which built and operates the lander, said in an email update on Monday (Feb. 27).

One privately built moon probe has gone farther afield: The CAPSTONE cubesat got a maximum of 951,908 miles (1,531,948 km) from its home planet before arriving in lunar orbit last November. CAPSTONE is operated by the Colorado-based company Advanced Space, but the cubesat is performing a mission for NASA, so it's not a purely commercial effort (hence the qualifiers that ispace inserted into its superlative).
A civilization is any complex society characterized by the development of the state, social stratification, urbanization, and symbolic systems of communication beyond natural spoken language (namely, a writing system).
