To the Moon on a Plastic Bottle reveals the secrets behind the entrepreneurship craze of Israel's young generation, the engine that's leading the innovation train.

Readers go behind the scenes of Israeli success through the amazing story of Yariv Bash, Kfir Damari, and Yonatan Weintraub, the three youths behind Project Beresheet, the first Israeli spacecraft that went all the way to the moon. Ten years after the phenomenal sensation of Start-Up Nation, we decided to investigate the source of Israeli-Jewish achievement from a fresh viewpoint.

For the first time ever, we explain how the chaotic, audacious cultural style that has given Israelis a bad name around the world has taken a surprising turn in recent years. Israel’s culture has become a significant component of the success of young entrepreneurs operating in a knowledge-rich environment.

In this book, we open a window onto the mysteries of the Israeli-Jewish innovation greenhouse. We explain how the young generation in Israel is essentially continuing the epic journey begun by their biblical forefather Abraham. Generous helpings of chutzpah and the Jewish talent for endless argument enable Israel's youth to dare to dream big.

Against almost all odds, they can fall down and get up again. They can fail and then start over from the beginning ('Beresheet' in Hebrew). The story of the Beresheet spacecraft and its three founders is a microcosm of the larger story of this pioneering generation of young, daring entrepreneurs of the State of Israel.

In a broader prism, it represents the essence of this tiny nation. Since the day of its establishment, Israel has functioned within a state of chaos – yet it continues to win. This is also the story of a people with unique social characteristics, which sanctifies military culture but refuses to accept authority.
