It took off.
Then it did some great flips, but the top part never separated.
Then it blew up.

should have been more than made up by the positive attitude in the control room. https://youtu.be/KGultrg7l0IIt also appeared that all 33 engines did not light either.

A Japanese company tried to land its own spacecraft on the moon early Wednesday, but its fate was unknown as flight controllers lost contact with it moments before the planned touchdown.
Controllers peered at their screens in Tokyo, expressionless, as the minutes went by with still no word from the lander.
A webcast commentator urged everyone to be patient, as the controllers investigated what might have happened. Contact was lost as the lander descended the final 10 metres, travelling around 25 km/h.
"Everyone, please give us a few minutes to confirm," he urged.
However, roughly 10 minutes later, Ispace founder and chief executive Takeshi Hakamada spoke in front of a sober-looking team.
"At this moment we have not been able to confirm a successful landing on the lunar surface," he said. "We have to assume that we could not complete the landing on the lunar surface."

They go 384,400 km then lose it on the last 10 m.
It's like they drove it across Canada and then crashed it parallel parking at Mile 0.

Seems to be a lot of botched spacecraft lately
At least Musk didn't crash his rocket in New Mexico.
Spacex was trying for two launches today, but one had to be set back a day.

According to a report from a report by WESH 2 News, the launch was a success, and the satellites were sent into orbit without any issues. This is great news for SpaceX, as it demonstrates their ability to successfully launch rockets and deliver payloads into space.
The success of the Falcon Heavy rocket launch is just the latest in a long line of achievements for SpaceX. The company has been making waves in the aerospace industry for several years now, and they have been responsible for a number of groundbreaking achievements.
