The final resting place of Russia’s failed Luna-25 lunar lander has apparently been found.
Luna-25, Russia’s first moon probe in 47 years, smashed into the lunar surface on Aug. 19, during a maneuver designed to set up its touchdown try a few days later.
The crash blasted out a new 33 feet (10 meters) wide crater, which NASA’s sharp-eyed Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) likely found last week, agency officials said.

Crazy, I don’t see any Ukrainian preschools there?
Well, there is a crater, which is what Putin has apparently dedicated his life to turning preschools into. Who knows, maybe their lander spotted a rock that looked like a preschool.
Does Roscosmos get to name the crater they made?
The eto vsegda bylo zdes’ crater
they’ll just call it Victory Valley or something ass backwards and upside down like they do
It wasn’t supposed to be a landing, that’s just western liberal propaganda. It was a special operation and it worked flawlessly.
Russian drone strike on Luna executed successfully
Next time we use consrcipt to steer. No more crashes or family gets pushed out of window.
if he hits the target, he gets a free used toilet
Note: Plumbing not included
Iron lung, but in space
Well at least the Russians contributed something to lunar exploration

Paid for with rubbles.
Russia made its mark on the moon 😆
It’s really impressive to me they were, assuming correct, able to pinpoint this on a celestial body from estimates.

Just a rapid unscheduled disassembly.
all comments are just sad
tell me why. This is the flawless, fearless, borderline superior country that wants to conquer back most of europe and is actively invading souvereign countries, killing or locking up unwanted citizens and is failing at nearly everything it has touched the last years.
Their economy is plumbeling down, their unemployment rate is sky rocking, their degenerated war has brought nothing but suffering and death all over the world and also into their own land and now their superior space mission failed spectaculary as some pieces on the surface of the moon.
So tell me why we shouldn’t joke around that after all this propaganda from russia that painted their country as this nearly godlike and flawless entity? Please tell me why…

this is not only putins war, part of the russian people is supporting him too

that mean all russian are bad ?
did I fucking say that?
This is not Putins war alone, he is backed up by a lot of russian people who actively support his cause, mildly support his politics or don’t care at all (which is basically the same)
Of course there are also people who are afraid to speak up, but they are not the majority in this country. Putins raise to power was also backed up by many russians and they a pretty much doing the same thing that nazi germany was doing before and during WW2…
So please stop saying that this is only putins fault…the hate for the west is very real and very deep in russia’s society.
And you can fuck right off with your blatant whataboutism. Of course are other wars or invasions not justified, but this does not make the russians one justified…

As long as Russia is the enemy, russians are the enemy.

this is how we process grief
hihihihi 😆
I really would not be surprised if they had put a person on that mission in secret. With the hopes of making them a hero and show how great Ruzzia is.
The mission design doesn’t support bringing anything back, so no. As crappy as Russia may be, stranding a cosmonaut on the moon doesn’t sell well with anyone.
But Kerbels are just fine, which is good cause I didn’t design a way to get them back
it’s a better story than the falling out of the window stuff. By accident of course, everything is great in soviet russia
