The French News Agency AFP reports the following, repeated by Moscow Times:
Kremlin vows to pursue Moon race after Luna-25 crash by AFP Staff Writers Moscow (AFP) Aug 29, 2023 The Kremlin said Tuesday that Russia would not give up its ambitions to land a craft on the Moon after its first lunar mission in nearly 50 years failed this month. The Luna-25 module crashed on the Moon's surface after an incident during pre-landing manoeuvres. An Indian mission days later successfully landed near the Moon's south pole. "We know that the way to the stars is through thorns. The main thing is to continue the Russian programme," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. "The plans are quite ambitious and they will be realised," he said, adding that the failed mission was not a reason to "tear your hair out". Moscow Times - Luna program to continue |
