Luna 7, probe to the moon, launched 1965


In another unsurprising failure, Luna 7, launched October 4, 1965, crashed onto the moon three days later.  It managed to carry out its mid-course correction October 5, but then it lost attitude control as it approached the lunar surface.  It plummeted to the moon at a very high speed.
