Russia’s space agency said in a social media post that the issue occurred while its Luna 25 lander was completing a maneuver to put it on course for its touchdown.

The Luna 25 spacecraft reported an “emergency situation on board,” Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, said on Saturday.

An incident occurred as the spacecraft was trying to enter a pre-landing orbit, according to Roscosmos.

“During the operation, an emergency situation occurred on board the automatic station, which did not allow the maneuver to be performed with the specified parameters,” Roscosmos said in a Telegram post.

    Most of the comments I’ve seen seem to be mocking the Russian government, and are not based on race. I have a feeling you knew that before you made your comment though.

      Yes, it’s very slightly different energy from calling them orcs, but I guess that’s because this event didn’t kill any of your favorite Nazis.
