The unmanned craft was due to make a soft landing on the Moon's south pole, but failed after encountering issues as it moved into its pre-landing orbit.

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

The spacecraft was scheduled to land on Monday to explore a part of the Moon which scientists think could hold frozen water and precious elements.

Roskosmos, Russia's state space corporation, said it lost contact with the Luna-25 shortly after running into difficulties.

And? I made none of the claims you're refuting. I just meant this place wouldn't exist without some of these "communists" and since they made it and were here for years before most of us, it's not surprising there's a lot of communist content.

Sure, and the software is pretty good. Nazi rockets were also good. It doesn't mean anything else is good or valid about them. I don't care if the creator is a tanky (definitely don't care if they're a communist) to enjoy the software. It is a useless point to say they created it as a way to justify anything else being good.

It's an appeal to false authority and therefore unrelated to the conversation.

Did I praise someone? I noted that some communists built this platform that's why you see them here.
