The Israeli explorer crashed into the surface of the Moon, accidentally leaving this Earth creature

Last April, Israel launched a Lunar explorer ship called Beresheet. This mission failed, when the ship crashed into the surface of the Moon, and accidentally "propagated" the first creature at Earth's only natural defense: water bears.

According to Wired , there are many scientific discs on this ship, containing DNA of many different animals. This is a project of Nova Spivack investor, with the aim of creating a "library" of animals on our planet. These plates also contain " water bears" , a microscopic creature that is extremely powerful. They have all the water drained, but in contact with water, they will "live" again.

Beresheet is one of the heavy failures of the Israeli space exploration industry. The ship reached the atmosphere of the Moon, but soon broke the engine and could not control the braking mechanism, so it fell and broke completely.

This ship is worth up to 100 million USD, is the result of private companies like SpaceIL and Israel Aerospace Industries, along with the financial contribution of other small investors. This is also the development of many years of scientists in this country, so it is a great pity that it breaks down.
