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.
I’m not reading a pop politics book for you. Go read The Gulag Archipelago.
I have. But unlike a book about Boris Yeltsin’s systemic hollowing out of the russian economy and the facilitation of this by the Americans, its hardly relevant.
Although if we are bringing up the gulag archipelago, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is not on your side on the issues. Especially not issues like the yeltsin government, the west’s influence on Russia and Russian sovereignty.
If that’s your takeaway, you haven’t.
You really thinks that if I don’t think the gulag archipelago is about the yeltsin government then I haven’t read it? That’s just sad dude. That’s just really, really sad.
“Excuse me but my book was spawned at the beginning of time with no creator and thus no bias or agenda, and is a crystal of pure truth, and yours is poopy tankie peepee”
I don’t care about antisemitic noblemen. His book is fake, and he’s lucky he wasn’t killed.
“I’m not reading pop politics, go read literal fiction”
The one written literally decades before the events in question?
