thar would be the 4th lunar lander in a row to have left its mark on the surface of the moon, so to speak, after the Israeli, Japanese and Indian landers all touched down rather more energetically than their designers might have wished.
For Russia this would also be the 4th space probe in a row to beyond low earth orbit that failed completely. However, unlike other people, who tend to be focused, pursue a single objective, learn from their failure, keep what worked, and eventually succeed, Each of Russia’s last 4 failure is an essentially unique design, following a unique mission profile, pursuing a different objective. It is as if they live in mortal terror of accidentally learning from their mistakes.
