"Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft crashes into the moon, ending its bid to reach the lunar south pole
"MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft crashed into the moon after it spun into an uncontrolled orbit, the country's Roscosmos space agency said Sunday.
"The pilotless spacecraft was aiming to be the first ever to land on the south pole of the moon, an area where scientists believe there could be important reserves of frozen water and precious elements. It had been expected to land Monday."
******************************************* Naturally, from a purely humanistic point of view, a successful landing on, and exploration of, the Moon's south pole—possibly discovering frozen water reserves and precious elements— would have proved an extraordinary, cheer-worthy achievement for all of mankind.
From a purely political point of view, especially in light of Russia's wanton savagery against its neighboring Ukraine, I'm delighted the goddamn thing crashed in utter failure.
