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 thought you might be a typical Kremlin shill spreading the narrative that the evil West was behind Yanukovych' ousting in Ukraine in 2014. Too bad, it'd have been a lot of fun picking that apart. Oh well. Thanks for clearing that up, much obliged.

    Literally admitting that "coup" has become a pavlovian trigger word for you.

      I like your username, seems very accurate. Maybe take that brain out of the box once in a while? Just a thought.

          Everyone's telling me I'm wrong and making fun of what I'm saying, it must be some giant conspiracy brainwashing them into disagreeing with me and handing out scripts telling them what to say to me.

          Right. That must be it.
