I didn't know they have schools on the moon. Or was it a power station?

Aww man…
I like it when space stuff works and when it explodes it makes me sad :(
(Unless there’s a billionaire on board)
Special lunar operation.
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.
Yeah, Russia should be like heckin' wholesome NASA and their peaceful apolitical former SS officers who never bombed any hospitals or schools instead.
Comments exactly what I expected. Disappointed how many people here are knee jerk celebrating the failure. Feels like being in a room full of Republicans when someone says anything about Mexico or Islam.
I hope they fix their shit for Luna 26 for the sake of science and human discovery.
You know normally I would applaud them. Happy when China has a success. Screw Russia though. This was a propaganda mission to get a win. The fact that did it in a rush to beat another country is typical of their philosophy. There was little science in this but mostly just dick waving.
Well your intention is admirable but childish.
Nobody gives a fuck about Russia's scientific endeavours when they're re starting the biggest military conflict in Europe since WWII and threatening everyone with a nuclear conflict.
Most probably any scientific progress that could be made will not be used for mankind's progress but for the current militaristic propaganda.
What's the problem. It was a lunar lander. It landed on the moon. Mission accomplished.
Nobody walked away from that landing, so it definitely wasn't a good one. The fact that there was nobody to walk away from the landing is a mere technicality.
Obviously it was not a moon rocket, but a Drone aimed for Kiev.
The moon needed to be de-nazified.
Well, hopefully India has more success.
Whatever scientific data humanity would gain from such a success is in no way worth the decade of triumphant screeching from Hindu nationalists that would result.
There’s gonna be nationalistic screeching no matter what, like I’m sure it felt in the 30 years after the US moon landing
As someone fond of science, its kinda heart breaking as many people spends decades of work to make this stuff and their dreams get crushed when these fail. Hope they fix and launch another one.
The US should put a lander together out of trash for shits and giggles and have it land perfectly.
Of course the BBC has to throw in that bit of kkkracker cope at the end. Nevermind how challenging a south pole landing would be relative to elsewhere on the moon.
:bathroom:
I always suspected that it was just a missile painted like a rocket.
It launched on a soyuz, which has an extremely long history. It first launched in 67. All rockets back then had icbm roots or aspirations. But for a long time all icbms use solid propellent for better long term storage rather than liquid propellant like soyuz.
It seems that a dish washer's controller isn't suitable for moon landing after all.
Good news:
moon's no longer haunted
