Credit where due. This was a
@spacex launch. It couldn't have happened without spacex. Getting to space is the hardest part.
Geez, it's not like every time I write about New Horizons I have to credit ULA and say it was launched on an Atlas V.

And yes, it could have happened w/o SpaceX. Launch was cheap b/c SpaceIL hitched a ride as a secondary payload. In that respect, the key player was
@SpaceflightInc, the rideshare matchmaker. - 2 more replies

You didn't use the name of the lunar lander. You used a country name. If two countries are involved particularly the one doing the literal heavy lifting it seems fair to include both right? Do we say USA New Horizons? Besides whats wrong with pointing out SpaceX made it possible?

1. I didn't write the hed (but basically yes, it's important to point out it's not the usual nation going to the moon) 2. We always say NASA and I think everyone knows that's USA. 3. News articles shouldn't be Academy Award acceptance speeches.
