I didn't know they have schools on the moon. Or was it a power station?

Special lunar operation.

“This is all the West’s fault!”

Obviously it was not a moon rocket, but a Drone aimed for Kiev.

What's the problem. It was a lunar lander. It landed on the moon. Mission accomplished.

The US should put a lander together out of trash for shits and giggles and have it land perfectly.

I always suspected that it was just a missile painted like a rocket.

It seems that a dish washer's controller isn't suitable for moon landing after all.

As someone fond of science, its kinda heart breaking as many people spends decades of work to make this stuff and their dreams get crushed when these fail. Hope they fix and launch another one.

American components, Russian components. All made in Taiwan.

Good news:

moon's no longer haunted

The russian wording on the mission failure is something to behold. Luna-25 "ceased its existence".

Comments exactly what I expected. Disappointed how many people here are knee jerk celebrating the failure. Feels like being in a room full of Republicans when someone says anything about Mexico or Islam.

I hope they fix their shit for Luna 26 for the sake of science and human discovery.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft has crashed into the Moon after spinning out of control, officials say.

The unmanned craft was due to make a soft landing on the Moon's south pole, but failed after encountering problems as it moved into its pre-landing orbit.

The spacecraft was scheduled to land on Monday to explore a part of the Moon which scientists think could hold frozen water and precious elements.

Roscosmos, Russia's state space corporation, said on Sunday morning that it had lost contact with the Luna-25 shortly after 14:57pm (11:57 GMT) on Saturday.

"The apparatus moved into an unpredictable orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the Moon," it said in a statement.

Russia has been racing to the Moon's south pole against India, whose Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is scheduled to land on there next week.

Whoops 👀

Ah yes, lithobreking.
