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.

It was Russia's first Moon mission in almost 50 years.

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

No country has ever landed on the south pole before, although both the US and China have landed softly on the Moon's surface.

No report on whether or not Russia was attempting to use repurposed anti-ship missiles like the ones they use to attack schools and hospitals here on Earth.

    I suppose that depends on your opinions on the relative annoyingness of Russian nationalists vs Hindu Nationalists.

    Given that most Russian nationalists post in Russian and aren't heavily present in English spaces, I find the Hindu nationalists to be more annoying.

      So purely because you think they're annoying... and you're on hexbear where 90% of the comments are a stupid image instead of anything meaningful. Alright. I guess you're probably an expert on annoying at this point so you're opinion must be valid, right?

        hexbear where 90% of the comments are a stupid image instead of anything meaningful.

        I find this characterization strange, we've got emotes and we use them, but the clear majority of comments on most threads are still text-only. Seriously, go to Hexbear and pick a thread.
