Interesting there have been so many (attempted landings). Last year it was India (success), Russia (fail), and Japan (fail).

Looks like it may have failed.

I was waiting on the live stream to start, mind sharing your source? That’s a bummer if it did fail :(

No, I think they were successful. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/science-environment-68019846

I was watching the live stream and they mentioned they couldn’t make contact and were waiting for 30 mins. Their telemetry also showed the craft upside down. But it looks like I’m wrong!

Seriously, source please?
