Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft crashes into Moon

Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft crashed into the Moon on August 20, 2023, after it lost control during its final approach to the lunar surface. The spacecraft was the first Russian mission to the Moon in almost 50 years, and it was intended to be the first to land on the Moon's south pole.
The crash of Luna-25 is a major setback for Russia's space program, and it raises questions about the country's ability to continue its ambitious plans for lunar exploration.
The crash of Luna-25 also comes at a time when Russia is facing increasing international isolation due to its invasion of Ukraine. The crash could damage Russia's reputation as a spacefaring nation and make it more difficult for the country to cooperate with other countries on future space missions.
