'We started something and we need to finish it'

Following the Israeli spacecraft Beresheet’s failure to land safely on the moon this week, SpaceIL chairman Morris Kahn on Saturday announced he was launching project Beresheet 2, effective immediately, adding: “We started something and we need to finish it. We’ll put our flag on the moon.”
The small spacecraft, the world’s first privately funded moon lander, crashed into the lunar surface Thursday night during an attempted landing, apparently due to a technical glitch that caused its main engine to stop mid-landing.
Appearing on Channel 12’s “Meet the Press,” South African-born billionaire Kahn said work on the successor to Beresheet would start Sunday.
“The response we’ve gotten has been amazing. The amount of thank yous and letters is amazing,” he said. “Over the weekend I’ve had time to think about what happened, and the truth is seeing all the encouragement and support from people all over the world is amazing.
“It gave me time to think and I thought it would be a shame to leave things like that. I’ve come to announce a new project: Beresheet 2. We started something and we need to finish it. We’ll put our flag on the moon.”
He added that “Project Beresheet 2 begins tomorrow… A mission team will be meeting tomorrow to start work.”

We’re Jews out in space
We’re zooming along
protecting the Hebrew race
We’re Jews out in space
If trouble appears
we put it right back in its place
When goyim attack us
We give ‘em a smack
we’ll slap them right back in the face
We’re Jews out in space
We’re zooming along
protecting the Hebrew race
They already accomplished a lot on their first mission.
I am glad they are continuing the effort. It may take a while, but they will succeed.
*ping*
Thanks for the addition!
A great example of how the History of the World is prophecy.
Thank you. I haven’t watched yet but I’ll get to them in a bit.
Privately funded and operated on the relatively cheap ($100 million). Lots of volunteered hours on it too.
It was a lonnng journey, in both distance and time.
Beresheet is only taking a 'power nap'.
(I think I just mixed some metaphors.)

Palestinian leader calls for all palestinian rocket
holders to donate rocket motors to provide for first
bombing of Occupied Moon.
“We were lunatics first!” He declaimed.
meanwhile, Jerusalem can use its existing moon rocket technology to provide free rides there for all of its Muslim terrorist gangsters/PLO-Abbas, Hezballah, Hamas, etc.
geez let me have a look at that software before you take off next time!
Thanks for the links. Very informative. BTTT.
Technically they did plant their flag on the moon though it may not be in the orientation or condition they want.
Orbiting the Moon and returning images is a big accomplishment. Not many nations have done it and they had far greater resources.
Well technically, the Israeli flag is on the moon. They did a great job.
only USA and USSR. (China?)
Thus, it’s not “not many”. It’s ALMOST NONE. Capeesh?!
....which means that hundreds of Palestinians will kill themselves to take it down.
Israel is the seventh country to orbit a spacecraft around the Moon.
Thanks fieldmarshaldj.
