We expect it to make landfall in the next few hours in a very remotely populated part of barger california in mexico. Tijuana, the border city in mexico. Baja california. Concerns it could cause some serious damage there. Before moving north into california as a Tropical Storm, and that is the unusual part of this, a hurricane come Tropical Storm would get to california.

So the likely consequences are going to be extremely heavy rain in california, some of the neighbouring states as well.

thrusters to put luna 25 into what s called a pre landing orbit. and then there was an emergency. russia hasn t said what, but i don t think they would have acknowledged any problem unless it was serious. it s important to everybody for scientific reasons, because the spaceship was going to try to have the first ever soft landing on the moon s south pole, and it hopes to find evidence of water there, which would be very useful, perhaps necessary if there was ever to be a permanent human base on the moon. however, other reasons why the mission is important, and that is all about prestige. the mission was launched when russia was under sanctions and it couldn t get some of the normal technical parts. when it launched, some people said it had a lower chance of success because of that.
