On Saturday, just two days after the Beresheet spacecraft crashed into the Moon, the president of SpaceIL said the organization would move forward. Beginning this week, Morris Kahn said, a new task force would learn from the organization’s failures and begin developing a new plan for a Beresheet 2 spacecraft.
“We’re going to build a new spacecraft, we’re going to put it on the Moon, and we’re going to complete the mission,” said Kahn, a billionaire who personally donated $40 million to the private Israeli effort.
