Israeli moon lander Beresheet sent another selfie, this time from a distance of 265 thousand kilometers (165 thousand miles) from Earth. The last selfie was from a distance of 131 thousand kilometers (81 thousand miles). Slowly increasing the apogee of its orbit around the Earth, Beresheet will soon reach the moon’s orbit, which is distant about 384 thousand kilometers (240 thousand miles) from our planet, at which time it will fire its retro rockets to enter moon’s orbit and then fire them once again to leave orbit and initiate landing procedure on the moon. This phase is expected to take place next Thursday, April 4th.

Baruch Pletner
Baruch Pletner is an entrepreneur, a scientist, an inventor, and a private pilot. He is passionate about education, the outdoors, and the war on globalism. Baruch holds a PhD degree from the Technion in Haifa, Israel and an MBA from Northeastern University in Boston.
Born in Kiev to Zionist parents, Baruch spent the first ten years of his life in the Soviet Union getting an education in the evils of communism. Though both of his grandfathers were killed defending the USSR against Nazi invaders, Baruch was a victim of rampant anti-Semitism from as long as he can remember, making his departure for Israel in 1973 a very welcome event. In Israel, Baruch served in the Air Force as a Fire Control Officer in a HAWK surface to air missile battery and took part in the First Lebanon War. While his career in engineering took him to Boston, Baruch has remained an ardent Zionist and supporter of the Jewish Nation, the Torah, and the Land of Israel.
Fluent in three languages and a student of history and the classics, Baruch has been writing for tsarizm.com as the Hi-Tech Traditionalist for a number of years, covering the war on globalism, Russia, and Israel. Baruch resides in Prince Edward Island, Canada, with his wife of 33 years and their two dogs and one cat.
