Normally, I'd say that it's a great shame that a piece of valuable scientific equipment was lost and that it's a massive loss to humanity as a whole as the international scientific community is usually able to co-operate regardless of boarders.

But this time, Russia said they won't be sharing any data gathered from this probe with the international community and would be keeping it all to themselves so suddenly I don't give a shit.

Well, they actually hit what they were aiming for at least.

Sucks for the scientists / engineers.

Fuck the Russian government, but you still hate to see something like this happen.

The “Kaputnik” has landed.

Boy, that Russian missile REALLY missed the pre-school in Kiev they were aiming for.

Well, Russia certainly lived up to its reputation.

Maybe we can give the moon lander the benefit of the doubt and assume it spotted a rock that looked like a children's hospital, prompting a change in priorities.

They rushed a project to compete with NASA's VIPER rover and just wanted to be first.

They will say Nato/US/Ukraine hacked into the spacecraft and made it crash. You heard it here first.

Huh. I don't see any hexbears or Lemmygrads on this thread. Interesting. Can't complain.

LMAOOOOOO

Seems like russian science is as shit as russian military

They call it a successful missile strike on the moon and they're back to winning again.

The Lunar War over minerals is going to be so fucking stupid and fun.

No no no, the moon illegally and meanly crashed into innocent Russia’s poor little defenseless space robot without any provocation!

"Today, Russian engineers managed a perfect example of Lithobreaking on the moon, showing the superiority of Soviet cosmonautics." -- Russian News Outlets

What, invading Ukraine wasn't enough and now they need to pollute the moon with their piece of shit spacecraft too?

Fuck Putin, fuck Russia, etc, etc.

Slava Ukraini!

Must've been a Ukrainian ~~hospital~~ military base there.

Last attempt to pass on the knowledge before the Luna 24 people are gone - it landed 18 August 1976.

Sad, hope chandrayaan makes it.

I'm impressed they managed to hit it
