"This is already a very interesting month for SpaceIL, the Israeli organization that sent the lunar lander Beresheet into space and then crashed it into the moon. Needless to say things did not go exactly as planned.The mission was a resounding success in many ways for the company that would like another chance to land a spaceship on the Moon in a much softer way .

It seems they will do exactly that. In an announcement that was made shortly after the lander Beresheet's hard landing, SpaceIL's founder, Morris Kahn, announced that the group would focus on Beresheet 2.0.

Citing all SpaceIL support and awareness messages and that he himself received after Beresheet's LG had met his unfortunate fate, Kahn seemed optimistic about the successor's landing prospects. Beresheet on the lunar surface. "We're going to put it on the moon and finish the mission," Kahn said in a video posted on Twitter.

Kahn said the first step would be a planning committee to determine how Beresheet 2.0 would be developed, built and piloted. He gave no details about the timeline, but the first thing SpaceIL will do is find someone to help fund this recently announced adventure.

The first Beresheet mission was funded by private funds and it seems that SpaceIL is also looking for funds this time around. What made the first mission so interesting – apart from the fact that it was the result of a Lunar XPrize contest that never really ended – was that it was incredibly cheap. In total, the mission cost only a few hundred million dollars, which is a fraction of the price of many landing efforts on Moon. Finding enough donors with significant pockets for a second cycle would also seem feasible.
