          Disaster for Beresheet. Problems with an inertial sensor and their main engine caused the lander to slam into the Moon at high velocity. It's gone.

              Nice. I use the Space Launch Now Android app on my phone for launch tracking. I had no idea SpaceIL had their own app. Or was that just a generic timer app you were running?

                      The English spooks-men (women) was just about to explain that they (the Israeli) choose not to double any equipment at all. So if one thing goes down - or one software bug, then it would be a game over.
                      60 seconds later : lost contact ...

                      But, true : they have landed a device on the moon ^^

                        That decision was purposely made to lower the cost of the mission. There was literally no redundancy. The whole thing was done on a shoestring budget, as far as space missions go.

                          I was watching the attempted landing - sucks it didn't work... But hope they try again.. The only thing that rubbed me the wrong way on the live feed was the chat... WOW the internet is full of idiots and haters.. The chat was full of flat earthers and religious nuts and haters.. None of which had any place on such a feed.. But it was nice to see a lot of well wishers from all over the globe hoping for their success as well.

                          But, true : they have landed a device on the moon ^^

                          True - just very HARD landing ;)

                          There was people on the chat stating they hoped it failed?? What is wrong with people??
