It seems jews aren't allowed on the Moon.
A wise decision by TPTB.

#142It's time to retire the tired old nation-state space-race narrative. We're all in this together people. Their failure is our failure.
I'm sure you're going to benefit from this, right?
Lemming.

#143It seems that they just got a new word in the dictionary: https://mobile.twitter.com/teamspaceil/status/11163129311033... I find it a bit irritating to be that cocky when it comes to space technology. Better luck next time!
They successfully crashed it.

This comment thread is both celebratory and hateful, truly disgusting from Hn.
Celebrating space mission failures for any reason is a terrible look.
This is a cultural difference, try to take a step back from your own preconceived cultural norms. What's considered confidence in Israel would qualify as hubris in American culture - there's much less value placed on being humble or soft-spoken in Israeli culture. I make no judgements about if this is better/worse but I certainly wouldn't dream of relishing in their failure even if I perceived them as "cocky".

Contrast with Elon Musk saying the next launch of the Falcon Heavy (today) has a 5-10% chance of failure. [1] This is after it has already successfully launched once. [1] https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1115998728878321672
Meanwhile he seems to lack any doubt or humility in anything involving Tesla...
He's been pretty upfront about his date prediction abilities:

You don't so much land on a comet, as dock with it. And I think they kinda less-than-succeeded at that.
They got down at the expected speed just fine. Except that speed is enough to bounce two times if your harpoons fire but don't stick in the crust because it is even more crunchy than expected.
As I said, a failed docking attempt.

You do realize that Israel has put it's own satellites into space? And in a much more difficult way to avoid launching them over hostile countries.
Yeah, they use a dead simple solid-fuel rocket based on their ballistic missiles that can only really hit LEO and has a pretty limited payload.
implying that makes it unworthy of praise?
