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.

It seems that a dish washer's controller isn't suitable for moon landing after all.

They should've upgraded it to the Logitech G F710

If a dishwasher had any chip capable of processing anything at all it would be suitable, which is pretty funny.

Most modern dishwashers have some kind of processor, and yes they'd be perfectly capable of handling the necessary computations.

I take it you haven't seen the guy that got Doom running on a dishwasher?
