I just finished tweaking my car for the FUN B challenge.
Beresheet (בראשית) is the first word in the hebrew bible and the name of the first book in the hebrew bible, it means "In the beginning"
But it isn't the reason I named my car baresheet, the reason is of course the Israeli space ship!
So if you don't know, "The jews are in space". An Israeli organization called spaced IL made a tiny spaceship that is going to land on the moon in few days!
and the name of the space ship is... Beresheet!
here is a photo taken by Beresheet from space:
I actually trolled one of the engineers when he did a live stream about space 2 yeas ago!
My design has nothing to do with the spaceship, but it looks cool, I think.
and here is the super strong 2670cc V6 eninge that will smash the other cars on the track!
You can watch Beresheet's live location here: http://live.spaceil.com/ and hope for a successful landing on the moon, then Israel will be the 4th country ever landed on the moon! Whoohoo!
*it was made in the latest version of automation*
So, today, unforchantly, beresheet died ): it crashed on the moon in more than 3,400KM/H first they said the the gyro isn't giving information, then the engine stopped and did't start, they restarted the computer, (maybe switched to the backup one) and then. when the engine was on again (probably) it was too late, we saw the last info, the spaceship was 150 meters above the ground, the ground speed was 3,400KM/H and the vertical speed was 460KM/H all we have left is a promise from our primeminister that in 2 years we will land on the moon, and this last photo, from 22KM above the moon taken few minutes before her death:
I want my car to be a memorial for beresheet
rest in peace
