[QUOTE="Topper, post: 1067572, member: 186250"] Fingers crossed all goes well, בהצלחה Israel is about to launch its first attempt to land on the Moon. The Beresheet robot is a privately funded venture that aims to land and hop across the lunar surface. It's a challenging prospect. Only government space agencies from the US, Russia and China have previously managed soft touchdowns. The 1.5m-high, 585kg Beresheet will begin its mission with a ride to Earth orbit on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida. Once ejected from this vehicle, the robot will then use its British-built engine to propel itself to the Moon. The journey will take over two months to complete.
