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.

      Oh my god a horrific accident is being used as an example for all of China being a fucking hell hole.

      The most populous country on earth cannot have horrible accidents happen, and if they happen then hell on earth.

      My guy just because I’ve heard of a notrious Rączka from Wrocław doesn’t mean that suddenly of all Poland is full of sickly people nor does it say anything about us as a whole country. And we are not even the size of China.

      Also:

      Wikipedia article using migrant workers in their methodology.

      Good one. lmao

          China was so much better when it was run by the imperialists and their running dogs 🥰. People alive there remember living in mud huts and starving; now their country is building a space station and almost entirely responsible for all the poverty reduction worldwide that’s happened in the last few decades. And isn’t the case basically the opposite for the UK? You guys used to be powerful but will soon be living in mud huts under the glorious aegis of Joe Biden?

      That wiki page counts migrant workers as homeless, even though they (a) have room and board wherever they work and (b) have a family home wherever they’re from.

      It’s pure nonsense. Spend a day in a Chinese city and a day in a western one and you’ll see that.
