Germany immediately announced they are annexing the Sea of Tranquility, while France raised a white flag in triumph.

LOL! When you screw up, just pretend that's the way it was planned.

Well if there is one thing the Europeans can do well, is crash something worth billions of dollars (see there economy and health care systems).

There are some negative comments on this thread.
They planned the crash and figured out a way to get some good data. What's the beef?

OSHA was contacted and the moon was deemed hazardous. EPA is doing a $650 million study to determine the scope of the cleanup effort.

They are superior to us in every way. It's good to make fun of your superiors once in a while..

Isn't the title pretty misleading? You'd think they could fit the word "planned" in the title. You see the title, and you're thinking, oh no the spacecraft crash landed. Then you read the article and you see they meant to do that.

I concur. Kudos to the ESA on an excellent mission.

"What's the beef?"The Kyoto Treaty includes the lunar surface as a proscribed environemtnal protection zone. Germany decided to go it alone without getting international approval.
Kyoto has strict standards for decontaminating any orbital craft that may deliberately or accidentally reach the lunar surface.
Viruses or bacteria could cause a wildfire explosion of new life and destabilize the existing balance of chemicals. Kinda like throwing ants in a sugar jar.
