In February, 2019, Israeli organisation SpaceIL sent a spacecraft named Beresheet to the moon on a SpaceX rocket. It cost $100 million for the project. This was not very much. NASA spent billions of dollars to go to the moon.

The spacecraft flied around the moon. It did this well. It tried to land. But this did not go well. Its engine cut out. The team of the spacecraft started the engine again, but then they could not communicate with it. They cannot get the spacecraft to go down.

Israel’s Prime Minister talked about this. He said that if something did not go well first, you tried again. Only the USA, China, and the former Soviet Union landed spacecraft on the moon in the past.
