We're Going to the Moon
According to BGR:
Israel is about to launch the first privately-funded mission to the MoonGetting to the Moon takes an incredible amount of technical know-how, engineering excellence, and of course money. That’s why embarking on a lunar landing mission is typically done by a government-funded space agency rather than private citizens, but the rise of commercialized rocket launches is helping to change that.This month, Israel plans to become the fourth country to embark on a Moon landing, and it’s doing so thanks to a nonprofit group which is privately funding the mission. The Beresheet spacecraft from SpaceIL will be the first ever privately-funded Moon mission, and it’s going to use SpaceX to make it happen.-more
