A small lunar lander crashed into the surface of the moon on Thursday, coming just short of the venture's ultimate goal.

Non-profit SpaceIL was aiming to become the first private entity to softly land a spacecraft on the moon's surface – a feat previously achieved by only three governments in history. SpaceIL confirmed that its robotic "Beresheet" spacecraft was not successful.
