      Can you imagine being the person who sent the set of commands and realized that after 46 years you might have accidentally killed the whole program with a misplaced decimal?

          • Sure, it's not low orbit or really even "space" proper. However, 85km is still quite a view that most people will never see in person.

                  That's not a good measure, as you would die at 40k ft.

                        • Suboptimal.

                          Russia's unmanned Luna-25 spacecraft has crashed into the Moon after spinning out of control, officials say.

                          It was Russia's first Moon mission in almost 50 years.

                          The craft was due to be the first ever to land on the Moon's south pole, but failed after encountering problems as it moved into its pre-landing orbit.

                          It was set to explore a part of the Moon which scientists think could hold frozen water and precious elements.

                          Roscosmos, Russia's state space corporation, said on Sunday morning that it had lost contact with the Luna-25 shortly after 14:57pm (11:57 GMT) on Saturday.

                          Preliminary findings showed that the 800kg lander had "ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the Moon", it said in a statement.

                                I know vlad would take full credit and blame every one else, but being an engineer, I do feel for the scientists and engineers who were under massive pressure to make this happen. Just a little harder than working for spacex.
