Thanks fieldmarshaldj. It is of course SpaceX' second move beyond low Earth orbit, the first having been the Falcon Heavy test flight.
update:
[snip] In the history of spaceflight, three nations have successfully landed a spacecraft on the surface of the moon. Israel hopes to be the fourth, as SpaceIL prepares their robotic lander to launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. SpaceIL noted late on Wednesday that the mission has been delayed albeit by only a couple of weeks to the beginning of 2019 with a moon landing around eight weeks after launch. [/snip]
