Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft crashes into Moon
The unmanned craft was due to make a soft landing on the Moon's south pole.
Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft has crashed into the Moon after spinning into an uncontrolled orbit, officials say.
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Huh. I don't see any hexbears or Lemmygrads on this thread. Interesting. Can't complain.
God it is validating to see you say that. I'm new to the platform, reddit refugee, and am bombarded by what appears to be hard core communists. It's exhausting.
They are not communists, they are russian apologists.
They're tankies.
Tankies used to care about communism. Now they're just anti-western. They will not question if Russia or China are actually communist because it doesn't matter. They don't care about worker protections or freedoms. They only care about "owning the west."
Yeah I find them rather funny... I'm antiamerican and leftist but many seem to think that it's a binary and we must choose.
Having actually lived and worked in China for the CPC, I find their idolizing of the modern Chinese nation-state a bit laughable
Fuck Putin, fuck Stalin. Peace to world, glory to science and production, mechanize ancillary work, reduce manual labour.
Here's a little bit of communism you didn't want.
They've been real quiet since that probe dropped 😂
Isn't Lemmygrad defederated from this instance
Could be. They aren't on my home instance. I've seen several threads about this and literally none of them, as far as I could see, had any comments from them.
