The unmanned spacecraft, shaped like a pod and weighing some 585 kilogrammes (1,300 pounds) at launch, will land on the moon on February 13, 2019 if all goes according to plan, organisers SpaceIL told a news conference in Yehud, central Israel.
The vessel will be launched via a rocket from American entrepreneur Elon Musk's SpaceX firm and its mission will include research on the moon's magnetic field.
Its first task, however, will be to plant an Israeli flag on the moon, organisers said.
The project began as part of the Google Lunar XPrize, which in 2010 offered $30 million (25 million euros) in awards to encourage scientists and entrepreneurs to come up with relatively low-cost moon missions.
Three young Israeli scientists, Yariv Bash, Kfir Damari and Yonatan Winetraub, decided to join the fray...
The trio formed SpaceIL and partnered with state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries, envisioning a very small craft they believed could land on the moon by 2013.
Although the Google prize expired in March without a winner having reached the moon, Israel's team pledged to push forward.

Grown organically with moon dust and piped in sunshine. Get them at the Malon Luna hotel, casino and tavern, next time you’re in port and on liberty;-)
Flag? If you have a Jooo! colony on the dark side of the moon, then you can set up a holographic projector, and at the new moon, you can make a 3-D image of Solomon’s Temple appear from the heavens, built literally from the flames of laser technology, and projected right onto the Temple mount. The Palis, seeing our prophesy fulfilled, will run down to Mecca with their tails between their legs, and trouble us no more, either in Israel or on the moon.
The rebuilding of the Temple is also foretold in the Qoran, Suras 5 and 17. They are now fighting against their own profit’s foretelling, just as Montezuma did against the foretold coming of Cortez. Once it’s a done deal, though, it’s a done deal, as Montezuma realized and ultimately welcomed his foretold doom, when he couldn’t be stopped. The result was modern Mexico, a rather prosaic prophecy. So, too, the Bet Hamikdash built of flame descending from heaven can be done from the moon, and usher in an epoch of world peace and universal brotherhood, stolen Iranian clouds, and whatnot.
Israel goes to the moon while the Arabs have barely mastered indoor plumbing
actually, not Israel’s first moon launch. we hear the IDF has a complete base there to help defend against more dam*ed Moslem terrorist murder attacks and Iranian nukes.
one more aggressive step too far and.... whamo from the moon!

OTOH, India has a space program (soon manned), a nuclear program, and people who poop in the street.

Is green cheese kosher?
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
India is a strange place of extremes.
Depends on how ya kill the pig. Or somethin'.
If memory serves, there's a (fake) prophecy or old saying or bit of folklore that Islam will come to an end when man walks on the Moon. :')
Heh...
We think alike.
If they did, the Arabs, UNIFIL, and UNESCO would start accusing Israel of having destroyed hundreds of Arab villages already on the Moon.
Mwa ha ha!
Buy big pharma stocks -- the psych meds exports to predominantly Islamic countries are about to skyrocket.

Unless something goes wrong. And something always goes wrong. And then there's copper, which is the only pipe I use. It costs money. It costs money because it saves money. [/snip]
There will be vending machines near each mosque, selling Maalox, Prevacid, Rolaids, Tums...

50 years, it’s been. That proves the moon landing was a hoax!/s
