This is sad. That said I don't think of it as 'failure' after all there was so much accomplished that they got to the point of landing something on the Moon. That they failed to complete the objective puts them in rarified company. NASA and Russia had many failures [1] prior to achieving successful landings.

- candiodari 8y agoThere should be an upbeat attitude here. "Today Israel joined the club of countries that crashed into the Moon. A bit less prestigious than the club of landers, but no less exclusive." A little joke, combined with pointing out that this is an incredible achievement. Imagine having this on your CV. Wtf ! It took the US and the USSR 4 tries to even get near the moon.
