"The apparatus moved into an unpredictable orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the Moon," read a statement from the agency.

  1. ffs that’s a really wordy way of saying “it crashed.”

  2. “ceased to exist” - No, it still exists, just in more pieces than when it left the earth, and in a much larger area than originally intended. Still exists, though.
