RIP Luna-25

www.reuters.com Russia's first lunar mission in 47 years smashes into the moon in failure

Russia's first moon mission in 47 years failed when its Luna-25 space craft spun out of control and crashed into the moon after a problem preparing for pre-landing orbit, underscoring the post-Soviet decline of a once mighty space programme.

Nice try tho. Better luck next time

Needs more Soviet.
Wtf they are literally admitting that the Soviet Union was better
- It obviously was. Modern Russia is a sad ruin made worse by the weight of such wasted potential.
- Modern Russia is a shell of what the USSR was.
Capitalism rots everything. Not looking forward to the libs celebrating though
- They gloat everywhere already.
  
  Yeeeah, I've looked at the news thread linked. Now I need eye bleach

Luna 26 is planned for 2027. Fingers crossed.
Next one will be better, but it needs communism
