Israel's SpaceIL says it won't try second moonshot
SpaceIL, the Israeli company that attempted but failed to put an unmanned craft on the moon earlier this year, says it will not try a second moonshot.
The company issued a statement Tuesday saying its lunar mission in April has been widely hailed as "an exceptional success," despite crash landing on the moon. It says that "an attempt to repeat a trip to the moon is not enough of a challenge" and will instead search for a different mission.

My that sounds politically incorrect, maybe insensitive, and potentially offensive.
Please allow me to instead observe that it is much less costly to simply draw an enclosed border somewhere on the map of Mars, and declare it a new Palestinian Homeland.
People today are educated enough to repeat what they are taught but not to question what they are taught.
