A soft touchdown is where the vertical velocity relative to the ground is nearly zero at an altitude of 0. A hard landing is where the vertical velocity is near or above that which will cause failure due to impact.

Right, that still means they touched down on the moon, correct? I'm assuming yes but looking for a non-Googled confirmation.

Well, yes. But I think it was just a robotic spacecraft that landed. I don't think there are any people aboard the spacecraft.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

So there is no reason to think that the US space hegemony will ever be threatened.

A hard landing is a crash. A soft landing is landing as intended. You almost never want a hard landing.
Cheers, Vikram.
