        It’s part of slow and scheduled disassembly of Roskosmos as organization. 10 years ago it already seemed to be on that trajectory.

    I’ve played my share of Kerbel Space Program.

    The lander made a planned flight to the moon, which included a high acceleration parking maneuver which resulted in unquestionable sucesss! To the Mun!

    The russians are actually pretty good at space… although a lot of that was due to koralev inventing most of what they use… soyuz has been extremely successful. So I have no doubt they can get to the moon… hopefully next time at a speed that doesn’t pancake the ship…

      The russian success stops at Soyuz. Ask N1 what the hell was doing until the soviets back then gave up on such a faulty project

    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.

    The Moon, unprovoked, collided with the Russian vessel that was approaching amicably. An old, whitened but still recognizable USA flag was planted on the Moon’s surface, indicating this as a clear act of aggression from the imperialist power

    Good, because they would most probably use it to plant their stupid Z swastika on the moon, because nobody could stop them there.
