The chairman of SpaceIL, Yankee Margalit says: "SpaceIL will continue to work towards the completion of the mission to land the first Israeli spacecraft on the moon and to inspire the next generation. Now, with the help of our colleagues from Odyssey Moon, we are closer to the moon than ever before.”
The Israeli SpaceIL group, which is seeking to launch a spacecraft to the moon as part of the "Google Lunar X Prize" and an American company that was also established for the purpose of participating in the competition - Odyssey Moon announced the integration of their teams in order to advance in the competition.
Odyssey Moon was the first team to enter the competition, while SpaceIL is defined by the experts as the most significant non-American competitor. They signed a deal to run jointly under the SpaceIL team. This means the actual withdrawal of Odyssey Moon from the competition, and the allocation of its resources in favor of the Israeli competitor. In a joint statement of the two companies, they express hope that this union will bring them victory.
The new partnership will also benefit from Odyssey Moon's connections with the global aviation and space industry, combined with a non-profit such as SpaceIL, which also brings an entrepreneurial spirit.
Odyssey Moon consultant Michael Potter says: "The team has a good chance of achieving one of the greatest space challenges of our time, landing a private - non-governmental - lander on the moon. This is probably one of the biggest media events of 2015."

If there was something "strange" on the moon, it would have been seen from Earth a long time ago. The moon is not that far away and today there is advanced equipment at hand that allows you to reveal everything even without landing there (to the best of my knowledge)
I eagerly await a private lander that will reveal once and for all the truth or falsity of the moon conspiracies. (Alien base, Nazis, etc.)
Hahaha (for a Palestinian) and kudos to SpaceIL! Eagerly waiting to see you on the moon.
You forgot to add with the despicable help of America, which is also controlled by Zionists.
: )
The Zionist occupier wants to set foot on holy Palestinian land that the Prophet Muhammad walked through there as written in the Koran
I hereby demand the right of return to the plot of my ancestors on the moon that was usurped by the Zionist occupier and exiled to Earth to their second homeland Palestine, which is also occupied, by the way.
