From the day Space IL announced its intentions publicly, the founding members knew the team would be subject to tremendous scrutiny in this media oriented country. Sure enough, the print journalists and electronic media have been circling Team SpaceIL's every move, surrounding it like the "fireflies" that sparkled near John Glenn's Friendship 7 Mercury spacecraft almost 50 years ago. It started with the most popular news on Israel's commercial Channel 2 Prime Time broadcast: http://www.mako.co.il/news-channel2/Channel-2-Newscast/Article-5ccffccd1... This was immediately translated into an English abbreviated version: www.jerusalemonline.com/specials10.asp Not to be outdone, the Israel Broadcast Authority (our public station) held a lengthy interview in English with Yonatan: see wmv file sent separately. The print journals have been no less enthusiastic, with the leading English daily Jerusalem Post being the first to splash Space IL on the front page: http://www.jpost.com/Sci-Tech/Article.aspx?id=200495. Yediot Achronot gave Space IL the cover of its "24 hours" feature magazine section and the prestigious "Haaretz / De Marker" (Israel's Wall Street Journal) gave SpaceIL another feature. This has led to more exposure at home and abroad and Space IL has made a "soft landing" in Forbes: http://blogs.forbes.com/danielfreedman/2011/03/30/israel-the-third-natio...
