I took my daughter to this launch (we happened to be vacationing in the area). It was an evening launch and we spent the day at KSC. On the bus tour around the launch pads we happened to sit right behind a couple members of the SpaceIL team (including the chief systems engineer). They were extremely friendly and happy to answer all sorts of questions.

Best of luck to the team on this exciting day!

Unfortunately it looks like the landing was unsuccessful.

This spacecraft was the main thing my three year old and five year old were talking about all week, so at least partial success here :) Next time!
