Russia’s Luna-25 spacecraft crashed into the moon after it spun into an uncontrolled orbit, the country’s Roscosmos space agency said Sunday.
The pilotless spacecraft was aiming to be the first ever to land on the south pole of the moon, an area where scientists believe there could be important reserves of frozen water and precious elements. It had been expected to land Monday.
However, Roscosmos said it lost contact with the Luna-25 on Saturday after the spacecraft ran into difficulties and reported an “abnormal situation ”.
I can see Stanti pining rhapsodic on the podcast about the good ol’ days, when we went to the moon and how now, our education system is so messed up that other countries are flying rings around this orb on us.

I sure hope we get there first. George Soros needs a solid base for his space lasers.

I would like someone to explain what the purpose of another moon landing would be.
