This is Hotel Mars. I'm John Batchel. David Livingston is here, my colleague and co-host. This is Hotel

Mars. We're going to the moon with Amir Nottea, who was part of the team that landed on the moon

with Bersheet Moonlander called Sparrow,

launched on a Falcon 9 spacecraft, a booster,

and it took quite some time to reach there.

They went the slow way around the block and did land,

and they're building another one, quite surprisingly.

I believe this is an effort to show that you can land successfully

and then take pictures around you.

With Bershid, Bershite 2, what is to be achieved?

What are they doing?

This time they won't crash.

Are they going to ask for more than that, Amir?

Of course, they're trying to

crack part. We've done that once. We don't need to do it again.

Bershito is a little bit more complicated.

It's a spacecraft that splits into orbiter around the moon and two landers.

So it has two landers, one for the near side of the moon, one for the far side of the moon,

and an orbiter that will remain in orbit for a couple of years.

Again, only if your listeners end up donating a little bit more money.

And that's the main goal, the main technical goal.

But Space A.Raeo, the company that's the nonprofit that creates Bereshit has as its goal, an educational goal.
