In April of this year #Beresheet became the first-ever private spacecraft to orbit the Moon, and then the first to attempt a soft landing on it. Today we will receive an award from the @glxp for our accomplishment! #SpaceIL

This is Mission Control Centre. #VikramLander descent was as planned and normal performance was observed up to an altitude of 2.1 km. Subsequently, communication from Lander to the ground stations was lost. Data is being analyzed. #ISRO

Right now, 50 years ago: “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.” “Roger, Tranquility. We copy you on the ground. You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We’re breathing again. Thanks a lot” #Apollo50
