Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin wished the Israeli non-profit organization SpaceIL well on Thursday ahead of the launch of its unmanned robotic explorer, named “Beresheet,” to the moon.

“If the #SpaceIL mission is successful this Thursday, Israel will become the fourth country to land an aircraft on the moon. Good luck, Beresheet!” wrote the 89-year-old Aldrin, who was the lunar module pilot when he and fellow astronaut and mission commander Neil Armstrong became the first two humans to walk on the moon on July 21, 1969.

The Beresheet lander, whose name means “In the beginning” in Hebrew, was build by SpaceIL and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).

  1. If NASA already admitted, “we can’t get there”, whom is he trying to fool. There’s no way a rocket can pass the extreme radiation of the Van Allen Belts. The only way they can land on the moon or even to mars is with a spaceship, not with a rocket.
