They barely get funding for proper war equipments, I’m not surprised this happened. (To be clear, not doubting the Russian scientists skills in any way or form here, only their founding)
Edit: TIL, they’re hemorrhaging scientists like crazy, which doesn’t surprise me, just didn’t check beforehand
They’re losing scientists by the bus load daily.
I doubt them. Since the war I’ve met quite a few people in various fields that fled the country. Granted I’ve yet to meet a rocket scientist, but the brain drain seems very real.
Well, didn’t they imprisoned some scientists because the anti drone missiles failed in the beginning of the year? I would certainly flee such a country.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russia’s Luna-25 spacecraft has crashed into the Moon after spinning out of control, officials say.
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.
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.
Roscosmos, Russia’s state space corporation, said on Sunday morning that it had lost contact with the Luna-25 shortly after 14:57pm (11:57 GMT) on Saturday.
“The apparatus moved into an unpredictable orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the Moon,” it said in a statement.
Russia has been racing to the Moon’s south pole against India, whose Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is scheduled to land on there next week.

More shorter!

Of course it did. I’m disappointed that I’m not surprised. I’m glad it was unmanned.
If US can’t make it to south pole, these 3rd world countries will never be able to make it.
By definition, Russia is in fact a 2nd world country.
Who gives a shit. Its not US, No country can compete with US. We are the superior ones and everyone should know that. #MAGA
lol US is barely first world. can’t even cover basic healthcare.
Fuck you. Turn on your TV whatever you see is US. We know that each and every of you wants to be an American but it’ll just be a dream. We have insurance to cover for healthcare and the only people complaining about it are dirty poor illegals. #MAGA
could be an American if I wanted to. don’t want to. you’re right though, it’s fun to watch. kind of like a highway pile up. it’d be more fun if I didn’t have so much family there.

The actual definition is First world countries are allied with NATO, Second world countries with the Russian federation (formally with the USSR), Third world countries are unaligned with either, and Fourth world are unrecognized nations like the sentinelese and tribal nations within the US.

A strict application of this definition makes Switzerland and Sweden third world countries throughout the Cold War, so it’s not really something you can use to describe modern usage of the term
have you seen the absolute state of Boeing
Well, now it’s spaceX for space mission, but I don’t think they ever made a landing anywhere, and they fail usually a couple missions before a success…

The fucking difference is space x worked their shit out before actually running the goddamn mission.
How fucked must you be to think this is par for the course? I mean, it is for those fascists, but that is not how space missions are prepared for.
Space x tested their shit on earth, shooting up and landing back down, etc. Once they got their shit worked out, ONLY THEN did they fly missions.
Would you say the same stupid shit if they had just gone straight for the ISS and when it inevitably crashed, “oh well, that’s normal there are always critical failures in the first few actual missions”?
Read a damn book or something
Hahaha you’re deeply mistaken! I’m not defending Russia in any way!
