Israel may ask NASA to send Israeli to moon

Israel wishes to renew its cooperation with the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), in order to send a second Israeli astronaut into space, Israel Ambassador to the US Daniel Ayalon told Globes. Ayalon will meet next week with NASA administrator Sean O'Keefe during a ceremony marking the anniversary of the crash of the Columbia space craft, in which Ilan Ramon, the first Israeli astronaut, and the six other crew members were killed. Ayalon will ask O'Keefe to continue Ramon's mission, "Israel's contribution to the study of outer space, as one of America's partners in manned space flights." Ayalon added, "There is a good chance that another Israeli astronaut will fly in space in a space shuttle, or other spacecraft. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that an Israeli astronaut will land on the moon, as part of US efforts to establish a permanent base there."

We can all hope for the day we see Israeli and American flags, side by side, on the moon.

3. If Israel goes to the moon
I am sure some Hamas terrorist bastard will claim that is part of their territory and take a rocket to the moon complete with suicide bomb.

4. Nah
They'll say its part of their traditional homeland (and then call anybody who questions it a racist)
