You are not a "stickler for details" at all.

You are merely uneducated.
Better to be uneducated and ask questions than to be educated like you and know it all. (without ever asking any question anytime in the past.)
You forgot to answer the questions or supply any links let alone addressing using me as your excuse for leaving the board.

Should the place the view is from not show something in the reflection. Bit too much magic for it to fit into my world.

That poor little Chinese rover better be good at hide and seek. As far as the 'mission' they might as well have name it Goliath.

When Beresheet approaches the lunar surface, it will aim to touch down in a region called Mare Serenitatis, meaning "Sea of Serenity." The spacecraft will survive for only about two days before running out of power. During that time, it will study the moon's magnetic fields and take photos of the lunar surface — along with some out-of-this-world selfies, Yigal Harel, head of the SpaceIL Spacecraft Program, said in the briefing.
Once Beresheet's two days are up, the dead spacecraft won't be entirely useless. Mounted on the spacecraft is a laser retroreflector, a mirroring device that requires no power and can be used for space-to-ground communications via NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN). NASA contributed the device to this mission as part of an agreement with SpaceIL that would allow the startup company to utilize the DSN for its moon mission.



2 days and then 'it's real mission' starts. ' the mirror' can track 'items' and the heat will destroy said item. No batteries needed. The same path used to get to the moon is what the arrow 3 can do.

Impact on the Moon during the Jan.21 total lunar eclipse: very high-sensitivity camera



With no atmosphere it would have been cold as deep space until the moment of impact and the odds are pretty high that the dust would cover that up. There is no huge dust plume,

Discuss . . . .


At least there are no NASA like animations.


Landing the 1st Israeli spacecraft on the moon


The Chinese rover tapped a bomb designed to return to earth in a precision strike. IMO
