Americans need to give more money to israel so they can make a better spacecraft(Giving them 4 billion per year is not enough,America)
"An Israeli spacecraft has crashed into the lunar surface, ending the first privately funded attempt to land on the moon.
About the size of a washing machine, the 585kg (1,290lb) robotic lander experienced an engine and communication failure in the last seconds of touchdown.
The mission ended Israel’s hopes of joining the ranks of Russia, the US and China as the only countries to have made controlled landings on Earth’s nearest neighbour.
“We had a failure in the spacecraft. We unfortunately have not managed to land successfully,” said Opher Doron, the general manager of Israel Aerospace Industries’ space division.
“It’s a tremendous achievement up to now,” he added, saying the probe had already made Israel the seventh country to orbit the moon and the fourth to reach the lunar surface."
