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

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

Russia has been racing to the Moon’s south pole against India, whose Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is scheduled to land on there next week.

No country has ever landed on the south pole before, although both the US and China have landed softly on the Moon’s surface.

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.

      China was so much better when it was run by the imperialists and their running dogs 🥰. People alive there remember living in mud huts and starving; now their country is building a space station and almost entirely responsible for all the poverty reduction worldwide that’s happened in the last few decades. And isn’t the case basically the opposite for the UK? You guys used to be powerful but will soon be living in mud huts under the glorious aegis of Joe Biden?

              Was she a running dog of the bourgeoisie like yourself? A terrible tragedy that she lost her slave plantation to the evil communists.

                  I love how you didn’t deny it when I claimed that the evil gommunists were bad for taking away your mom’s slave plantation. If communism is so bad, why do 95% of people in China approve of the government, according to American pollsters?

                    I didn’t dignify the juvenile barb with a response. Take it how you like.

                    The same reason 99.999% (there’s a 0.001% margin of error) of North Koreans love the Kims.

                    A combination of patriotism, indoctrination and fear. Talk to Chinese people sometime. In person, not on WeChat.
