** Shares of space startup Intuitive Machines LUNR.O fall 18.7% at $9.14

** LUNR's second moon lander, Athena, landed on its side, near the south pole of the moon on Thursday, similar to the company's first lunar landing attempt last year

** "With the direction of the sun, the orientation of the solar panels, and extreme cold temperatures in the crater, Intuitive Machines does not expect Athena to recharge," the company said

** LUNR stocks closed 20% lower on Thursday after more than doubling in the past 12 months
