What is the Blue Ghost lunar lander and what milestone will it achieve?

Blue Ghost is a commercial lunar lander developed by Texas-based Firefly Aerospace that recently captured remarkable footage of the moon's far side from about 75 miles above the surface. The spacecraft has been on a 45-day journey through space and is currently orbiting the moon, with a landing scheduled for early March. Upon successful landing, Blue Ghost will achieve a historic milestone as the first American spacecraft to land intact and upright on the moon since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. This represents a significant advancement in commercial lunar exploration capabilities after a five-decade gap in American lunar landing achievements.
