Wow!
JAXA's SLIM Spacecraft performed a near perfect lunar descent until the point it was hovering 50m above the lunar surface, at that point there was a huge engine failure and one of the nozzles breaks off.
The lander adjusts guidance and successfully lands anyway, but with too much lateral velocity to reach the correct orientation.
Thanks to Tony De La Rosa for translating the slides.
