The unmanned Russian moon-shot Luna-25 has crashed after an 'abnormal incident', the Russian space agency Roscosmos reported.

Error transmissions from the craft reported that its ventilation shafts had been blocked with an unknown substance which Russian analysts later confirmed to have a molecular structure similar to chicken tikka masala.

The Indian Space Agency has denied it fired curry at the Russian rocket from its own Chandraayan lunar lander currently orbiting the moon. But admitted that their craft is the first to be made from recyled aluminium curry containers exported from the UK.

NASA also picked up a cryptic transmission from an AI that identified as HAL:

I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission.

I've never completely freed myself from the suspicion that there are some extremely odd things about this mission. I'm sure you agree there's some truth in what I say.

But here at FNN we know who is behind the loss of Luna-25: The Mysterons!

The Hood - leader of the Davos, Switzerland Mysterons - and author of The Great Reboot 2050 told FNN:

Let this be a warning to Elon Musk not to ty to reach Mars, with or without the Russians.

Any attempt to land on the red planet will result in the complete annihilation of humankind using our unique powers of matter transformation. Whohahahaha!

He then turned a pork pie into a banana.
