SpaceIL
Earlier today, Israeli officials announced that another privately-made lander—once again built by SpaceIL—will head to the Moon in 2024! Known as Beresheet 2, this mission would actually consist of two landers plus an orbiter...and cost around $100 million like the first Beresheet spacecraft. All I can say is, I am absolutely excited for this project! I was so disappointed after Beresheet was unable to stick the landing in April of last year, but was glad when the folks at SpaceIL announced that they would try again a few days later.
Godspeed, Beresheet 2! Your launch can't arrive soon enough.
