A Russian scientist who labored on Putin’s failed moon mission has been all of a sudden rushed to the hospital.

Mikhail Marov, a prime astronomer, has suffered a “sharp deterioration” in his well being after the Luna-25 probe smashed into the lunar surface - meaning decades of research and planning had failed.

Marov, 90, is likely one of the most revered physicists and astronomers in Russia, and he was reportedly a key advisor on Putin’s mission.

He had labored on earlier house missions for the Soviet Union and called the Luna-25 mission the culmination of his life’s work.

Although Russia was the main pressure in house exploration within the Fifties - placing the primary man into orbit throughout the Cold War - they had been shortly overtaken by the US, who put a person on the Moon in 1969.

Marov, who was described in some reviews because the mission’s scientific director, was devastated over the failed landing.

According to The Sun, Marov mentioned: “It’s sad that we didn’t manage to land the device.

“There was a mistake in the algorithms for launching into near-lunar orbit. It must be found.

“I think the answer will be found in the foreseeable future.”
