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.

The US doesn't care about the Chinese people. There's no malice, there's no ill intention, they just don't care beyond the vague 'hope they find democracy someday' schtick. This whole geopolitical shadow war you worry about only exists in your adolescent head and the heads of your equally juvenile comrades.

Go outside and try to be a contributing member of society. Maybe even meet a girl. Or a guy, if that's your thing.
