Just being in orbit around the Moon and sending back pictures is a big accomplishment.

How long before the Palestinians claim it was always their land on the Moon and start firing missiles at it?

On Thursday, Beresheets engineers executed the most complicated maneuver yet, a perfectly choreographed space hop allowing the car-sized spacecraft to jump from an orbit around Earth to one around the moon making Israel the seventh country in the world to achieve the feat. Since April 4th, Beresheet has been orbiting the earth along with the Moon.
The Moon - the symbol of Israel, King David, Rachel, and the Shekhinah (the Divine Presence, the face of God).
That means that little Beresheet is due to arrive on the 8th day [from its "giant leap"].
The "Apollo Effect": one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
Beresheet is only expected to "live" (last) a couple of days, due to the extremes of temperature. People thought something similar about a certain menorah. Or of a certain king who was only supposed to live a few hours.

Just be glad Mohamed wasn’t able to go there. It would forever be an Islamic holy place if that had happened.

Looks dark. :)
The caption source struck me as funny, considering the origin of the name:
“Courtesy Beresheet”
God bless little Beresheet. I so much love following along with this inspiring journey.

The Palestinians have already tried to launch missiles at it, but for some reason they just keep landing in Israel.

Israel is the same size and population of New Jersey but

Only three Mighty superpowers have landed an aircraft on the moon. God is sending a message to us all..... don’t mess with the Jews, they are not 98-pound weaklings anymore!

Just being in orbit around the Moon and sending back pictures is a big accomplishment.Making the 50 year old 1969 manned lunar mission, landing and return by the U.S., an unimaginable feat and arguably the biggest technological accomplishment ever achieved by man.
