Jade Rabbit not doing to well
Sad news from our Moon - from China's national news service
Xinhua:
China Exclusive: China's moon rover experiences abnormality
China's moon rover, Yutu (Jade Rabbit), has experienced a mechanical control abnormality, and scientists are organizing repairs.
The abnormality occurred due to "complicated lunar surface environment," the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence (SASTIND) said on Saturday, without giving further details.
The abnormality emerged before the rover entered its second dormancy at dawn on Saturday as the lunar night fell, according to SASTIND.
Sad news but still, China is a member of a very small group of nations. Kudos on their achievement!
