[SIZE=7]Israel’s Beresheet Spacecraft Crashes Into Moon During Landing Attempt[/SIZE]
If at first you don’t succeed, you try again said bibi a.k.a netanyahu after Israel’s first moon lander came up just short in its historic touchdown .It was the first privately funded mission expected to land softly on the moon unfortunately,the ramshackle crashed into the gray dirt around 3:25 p.m. EDT (1925 GMT) a.k.a saa tano na twenty five jana usiku. Mission control lost communications with the spacecraft when it was about 489 feet (149 meters) above the moon’s surface.kudos god’s chosen people…[SIZE=1]supposedly[/SIZE]
The Beresheet spacecraft captured this selfie during its landing maneuver jana usiku. It was about 22 kilometers above the moon at the time. looks kinda super imposed tho
those landings are incredibly difficult. I don’t know whether anyone else apart from the US have ever succeeded. in mars it has been attempted I guess for 14 times. of those 14, eight are nasa attempts and of the eight 7 succeeded and one failed. all other 7 attempts by everyone else failed. Those guys at Stanford, MIT, UoM, johns hopkins, Caltech and others know their math.
