Israel will try once more to land a robot craft on the moon.
“The 5-foot-tall Beresheet 1, the world’s first privately funded moon lander, crashed into the moon while attempting a landing [April 11] Apparently, a technical glitch caused its main engine to stop mid-landing.”
The second attempt could take 2 to 3 years to get ready. If at first you don’t succeed…

the implications of this mission are enormous.
The Israeli flag is already there, in the wreckage.
Think about it Stanley, at a minimum this means the Israelis can drop a package anywhere in the world. It used to not be thought that way.
Depends on who launches it. Doubt SpaceX, which launched Beresheet 1 would allow anything nefarious.
Doesn’t matter who provides the vehicle, the Israelis have the knowledge now. If I was any number of tin pot dictators I’d think about that long and hard.
