    Although Russia can go kick rocks and gargle some deseased old mans balls for invading Ukraine, it still sucks that they crashed the lander. On the other hand, I kinda hope for some sort of new space race where hopefully something good comes around, not just the old nukes-in-space shit…

    I’m very conflicted by this.

    On one hand it’s sad that so much time and effort has been destroyed. That the hopes and pride of so many well-meaning Russian scientists has been dashed. That the science lost.

    On the other hand, Russia launched this thing during their invasion of, and war against, tbe Ukraine in order to demonstrate that they’re big enough and smart enough to do two things at once. To claw back some of the respect that has been lost by not having taken the Ukraine in three days…

    Sigh.
