An "abnormal situation" occurred at Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft on Saturday as it was preparing to transfer to its pre-landing orbit, Russia's national space agency Roskosmos said.
The Russian spacecraft is scheduled to land on the south pole of the moon on Monday, part of a big power race to explore a part of the moon which scientists think may hold frozen water and precious elements.
"During the operation, an abnormal situation occurred on board the automatic station, which did not allow the manoeuvre to be performed with the specified parameters," Roskosmos said in a short statement.

They took a shortcut trajectory to the moon, maybe because they wanted to beat the Indians to the moon’s south pole. The Indian craft is scheduled to land Aug 23.. and if I am not mistaken the Russians were going to land Aug 21.

The astronauts movements made the flag wave.

What’s causing that flag to wave? Wind? The Lunar Flag Assembly was designed to use a horizontal support and a hemmed pocket at the top, which causes it to look like it is "waving". IOW, its appearance was intentional, not an "oops" that points to fakery.
