First Russian moon mission in decades ends in lunar crash | Mashable.
Russia's first lunar mission in nearly 50 years crashed into the moon

Russia's Luna-25 — an unmanned space mission to explore the ice-rich area at the moon's south pole — has suddenly crashed.
On Sunday, Aug. 20, Russia's state space corporation, Roskomos, lost all communications with the robotic mission to the moon after a thruster misfire, pushing the spacecraft into an "unpredictable orbit," which then collided into the lunar surface, according to a statement posted on Telegram.
The mission, expected to touch down on Aug. 21, was the country's first lunar foray since 1976 — pushing the European power back into a global space race to explore the moon's most coveted natural resources, which includes the moon's south pole and any potential water ice that could be buried there. Roskomos previously stated that it saw the mission as a way to show that Russia “is a state capable of delivering a payload to the moon” and to ensure "Russia’s guaranteed access to the moon’s surface,” following its historic Luna-2 mission in 1959.
In July, India launched the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft, which marks the country's third successful lunar orbit and the closest a global power has gotten to reaching the moon's south pole among the latest rush towards the cratered surface.
Hours after news of Luna-25's mission failure, India announced Chandrayaan-3 was gearing up for landing on Aug. 23.
Space programs in China and the United States have announced similar lunar ambitions, with both countries gearing up to send manned missions to the ground of the icy regions of the moon. The potential of harvested moon ice could lead to vital sources of drinkable water, oxygen, and even fuel for rockets — extending the reach of future space missions. But lunar attempts such as these are notoriously difficult due to limited fuel, lack of GPS navigation, and the lack of an atmosphere to slow crafts down. India's previous attempt (Chandrayaan-2) ended in a similar software-induced crash.
In the latest iteration of the race to space, as the European giant once again faces economic and militaristic fallout, Russia appears to be out.

SHARING: What a sad and shameful waste. On the other hand, indicative of over-hyped technical capabilities. When will the next Russian Revolution overthrow their corrupt leadership? Soon, I pray. 🙏🙏🙏😢
ReplyDelete.
it’s best if we keep our noses out of other countries politics. Let them run their own territory as they see fit.
DeleteYour remark is a kind of misfiring in case of ruSSians occupying Ukraine which in NO WAY is bloody ruSSia.
DeleteSoon, unless they decide to launch the first nukes of WW3 just to try and save face.
Deletepains me to think what the Russian people have to go through!
DeleteUkraine needs one to over throw their Corrupt leadership as well, both are ran by Tyrant Communist crooks. Zelensky is not a good guy
Deleteyou don't like Russia because they don't follow the twisted agenda your country does
Deleteyour comment reflects a very limited understanding of geopolitics. Come back when you are better educated.
DeleteYou are not only not educated since you do NOT know what is the difference between ruSSia and Ukraine but at first you are arogant. At first you have to learn very basic geography.
Deleteyou are the one who implied I don’t know the difference between those countries. I most certainly do. And I probably know better than you what’s really going on. It’s a situation that’s been developing for many years and it goes far beyond Russia and Ukraine. And if you think the news will tell you about it, then you are gravely mistaken.
DeleteOpposite to you I've lived in Ukraine for a few years. I also know ruSSia quite well. I understand their languages and those people with no "support" from you.
Deleteif they would leave other countries alone you might have a point but Russia has invaded at least 4 of their neighbors since Putin has been the leader
DeleteThat's a pity that all those ruSSians who support putin were not on board.
ReplyDeleteyou watch the enforcer on yt?
DeleteNo. But I can see MANY of Ukrainian refugees in my own town. That's continuous march of misery, mostly women and children.
Deleteagree with your sentiments, give The Enforcer a try sometime, they're on the air live every night beginning around 10:12pm EST, except Mondays. On Sundays they hold fundraisers for Ukraine and they've raised over $1 million dollars for them so far. These brothers from Alabama, who are currently attending law school, started covering the war and supporting Ukraine week one of the conflict. There's no shortage of footage and information showcasing Ukrainian triumphs, Russian losses, and also President Zelensky's daily speeches.
DeleteWonder how many scientists will fall out of windows because of this?
ReplyDeleteWara ka pakipag kirita ha am 😊
ReplyDeleteIt’s Karma
ReplyDeleteMore space junk to clean up.
ReplyDeletekinda but not really. The problem of space junk is that which is orbiting earth.

ReplyDeleteKarma
ReplyDeleteThey landed like they're landing in Ukraine every day without regard to losses or costs
ReplyDeleteThey just dgaf
Deletedid the moon ring like a bell?
ReplyDeleteY'all got it wrong. There was no payload in that rocket. 😃
ReplyDeleteCool, now we're littering on other planets and now the moon?... I hope someone will think of the Martians!
ReplyDeleteshot by Ukrainian Air Force
ReplyDeleteSomeone must have opened a window in space: The Russian probe Luna-25 has been completely destroyed after an impact on the lunar surface. Actually, this mission was supposed to initiate the construction of an own space station on the Earth's satellite, but construction workers are scarce everywhere: Even Putin is increasingly digging his own grave...
ReplyDeleteIMHO Putin's burial hole is already adequately deep for him and his enablers, wonder who will shove them in?
DeleteWell that’s a bummer. Let’s see if the Indians do better in a few days.
ReplyDeletewell established, wealthy countries, that have all of their problems figured out and their people are prospering! 😒
Deletepoverty is not an excuse to pause science. Poverty can be addressed at the same time. It's not like the pursuit of science stops governments from addressing poverty.
Deleteoh, totally!!! Point is, none of the governments in question are doing much on the poverty issue... or any other issue for that matter...
Deleteagree
Deletejust like the Ruple, it's rubble now
ReplyDeletedon’t underestimate them, Russia and China are doing a very good job of putting things in place that will collapse the US dollar. And the Democrats are doing nothing to prevent it
DeleteOh? So what are the Republicans doing, specifically? They control part of Congress, after all.
DeleteAre they working on bipartisan initiatives?
Are they working with our allies?
most Republicans are doing nothing either, but the few that are trying are ridiculed for trying by the democrats
DeleteHmmm…if only a few are “trying”, and even their own party is ignoring them as are the Democrats…sounds like they might be crackpots. Sure sounds like they are.
Deleteor the majority of Republicans and the dems are in bed together and only pretend to hate each other when the cameras are on
Deleteyou laugh but my nephew works in Dc and sees it everyday. So go on and keep your head in the sand
Delete🤣🙄
DeleteYour nephew, eh? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🙄
DeleteAt least it didn’t run out of fuel half way there like the tanks did.
ReplyDeleteSo now there's a man in the moon
ReplyDeleteAnother one of the small man's special military missions trying to make the moon part of the old USSR 🙄🚀
ReplyDeleteSponsored by the GOP and MAGA for their Vladdy Daddy Putin
ReplyDeleteRhymes, thanks.
DeleteGET'UM Ukraine!!!
Deleteok groomer sponsored by soros
DeleteTrumpty Dumpty wanted a great wall, Trumpty Dumpty had a great fall, all of Putin's hoe's and all of Putin's men couldn't help that orange traitor win again...😆 GET'UM FBI 🤣
Deletesays the hoe of pedo Peter 😀
DeleteRight-wingers tears make me happy, keeping sobbing in unison with your Trumpan'Zee 🤣
Deleteyou literally have the hand of a chimpanzee
DeleteWEAK AF 😆 What else you got kitten? Trumpan'Zee needs you to send him $$$ so he can hire more lawyers 😂 RICO time Sweet cheeks 😎
Deleteyou cont even type are you okay groomer?
DeleteFar side of the moon? Does that mean the moon do not rotate on an axis? Maybe the moon is a fragment of earth.
ReplyDeleteits rate of rotation matches its revolutions around earth. Therefore the same side is always facing earth.
DeleteIt was a chunk of the earth and it does rotate exactly as described here by dude from blog
Deleteokay, acceptable answer
DeleteOf course it is Russian
ReplyDeleteWell at least they hit it.
ReplyDeleteServes em right
ReplyDeleteIf there was a hospital on the moon, they hit it.
ReplyDeleteSure it did . 👌🏼
ReplyDeletehttps://giphy.com/gifs/theoffice-qlrBlSDevEdFeW5JwV
ReplyDeleteThey just pretended it hit the moon to keep the globe narrative going. It would have hit the firmament.
ReplyDeleteIs the moon supposed to be inside or outside the firmament? I forget.
The honey mooners
ReplyDeleteAs part of Asian community, sincere condolences and I hope the Indian’s beat you Ruskie!
ReplyDeleteLos rusos:pinga repinga y recontra pinga,Mijaíl traime en Kalashnikov
ReplyDeleteKarma. God or some supreme being punished Russia for its crimes in Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteYou need to do your own research rather than be told what to think by the MSM🤔
Deleteright. I studied about Russia and the former USSR in university. They tend to be slipshod when it comes to safety. Aeroflot is the worst airline in the world. Think about what happened to some of their nuclear subs and the crews that suffered radiation or drowning. Russia is always quite advanced in technology but poor in safety and technical expertise. Putin's regime has been characterized by corruption and cronyism which makes these kind of problems worse. Think about those Russian vehicles with Chinese tires that burst. Pretty slipshod. As for karma, I believe in it. When you are evil, you are punished for your sins.
Deleteand Joe biden is not corrupt ?
Deleteno cultist, he’s not! Asked and answered!!
DeleteDisappointing. We should always wish for success. Those getting enjoyment from the failure should be ashamed. For space endeavors, all nations should be working together.
ReplyDeleteRussia's space efforts have been strange lately. Their ISS modules have had failures which they then tried to blame on US astronauts. One of the modules had a thruster malfunction that pushed the ISS into an upside-down position. Another module had a leak which took a long time to track down and repair.
Successful missions are an opportunity for all of us to learn from. I'm sure there were scientific goals in mind with this lander which will not happen now.
A Force de tirer des missiles… en visant le doigt… ils devaient croire que des sélénites ukrainiens occupaient la lune…
ReplyDeleteYou're hilarious.
DeleteProbably got pushed out the window.
ReplyDeleteAll of these countries with Moon missions now! Someone has figured something out that has our global attention now!

DeleteHegemony. We can't let others gain on us.
DeleteI read the link! It sounds interesting. Instead of making productive use of H3, mankind would find a way to make destructive energy from it. But it wouldn't be radioactive. Hmm🤔
DeleteSucks to be Russia. I hope the Americans somehow were able to hack the lander and caused it to crash 😆
ReplyDeleteThey have lost Soviet technology and ingenuity
ReplyDeleteI don't believe it. Prolly found something amazing and setting up base.
ReplyDeleteprolly used a Logitech controller as well
ReplyDeleteWow, Russia is losing in Ukraine so badly that they’re focused on landing on the moon for the first time in half a century….
ReplyDeleteyeah our military aid is more than Russians entire defense budget, Ukraine is not worth crashing the entire world economy, a deal should have been made and could have been made, a dirty deal could have been cut, that favored us in my opinion.
DeleteKeep watching the MSM mate. Amazing how the left became part of the war mongering, military industrial complex. Ukraine has lost 400 000 troops, 2 million seriouisly injured and 16 million displaced. All because the US and UK refused to sign a peace agreement and wanted this proxy war. They have lost. The only thing they can do now is put their own sons and daughters in the meat grinder.
Deletedo realize you and I are on the same page and that I was being sarcastic correct?
Deletelol. I think i was replying to someone else.
DeleteOk. I was confused you’re telling me to watch more MSM meanwhile you agree with me! 😁
DeleteMaybe they should stick to carpet installs(773-202-luna).
ReplyDeleteA Chicagoland joke!!

DeleteTell them to clean up their mess
ReplyDeleteNeed to fleece the population for more money!
ReplyDeleteI don't wish harm on any space travelers. However I do wish black eyes galore for Putin and his regime.
ReplyDeleteMore junk in space
ReplyDeleteSure it did
ReplyDeleteGreat! Now we have debris left by humans on the moon..
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of them!
Deletethat matters because why?
DeleteThere is even one thing there that if you point at it with a strong enough laser, it'll reflect right back at you!
Deletespace pollution my friend. Have you ever heard?
Deletenow? There's still stuff there from 1969
Deletemore stuff as usual for humans..
DeleteOf course. I consider scale and relevance as well but those are less trendy and more complex subjects, probably beyond the scope of this discussion.
DeleteThat suggests a viable alternative.
DeleteEn wie gaat het afval nu opruimen? Allee waar blijven de Gen-z met hun protesten?
ReplyDeleteThe sad part if that it was probably because of corruption and politics pushing too hard to allow truth and good engineering to succeed. I don't want to be happy about this failure, but I am more ok with that fact the same problems affect a current political situation that I want to fail.
ReplyDeleteUnited States succeeded just with a tin can more than 50 years ago 🤣
ReplyDeleteFake. Propaganda. The usual.
Deletewell russia is one big epic failure so im not surprised
ReplyDeleteI see you've never been with a Russian woman.
DeleteSo mission failed successfully
