Russian Luna-25 Uncontrolled Moon Crash
Aug 20^th, 2023 at 7:44pm

A Russian spacecraft has crashed into the
Moon after it spun into an uncontrolled orbit,
Russia's national space agency Roskosmos says.

Roskosmos said it had lost contact with the
unmanned craft shortly after a problem
occurred as the craft was shunted into pre-
landing orbit.

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

The spacecraft was scheduled to land on the
south pole of the Moon on Monday.

The crash follows a technical glitch the rocket
experienced as it was preparing to transfer to
its pre-landing orbit on Saturday.

The crash marks a failure in Russia's first
Moon expedition in 47 years. Russia has
not attempted a moon mission since Luna-24
in 1976.

—The only way to describe this disaster is to
say it's totally unacceptable, and Russia and
Putin need to be soundly condemned by the
rest of the free world. And, of course, who'll
be responsible for tidying up all this sort of
crap they've now dumped on the moon? Russia?

Remind me again, when did NASA land on the moon?

Another "rapid unscheduled disassembly".

Why should Putin and Russia be condemned for a risky space mission that goes wrong. They will get it right when they take the learnings on board.

We should be happy it went wrong as there is now a race to claim parts of the moon. That keeps us in the race.

South Moonia is now Rusky under the Kremlin dictatorship. The Free World owns the rest and is building trenches along the cease-fire line. Oz is down under, a bit to the Left.
