Goodbye to the Jade Rabbit
From the
China News Service:
Loss of lunar rover
China's first lunar rover, Yutu, could not be restored to full function on Monday as expected, and netizens mourned it on Weibo, China's Twitter-like service.
Yutu experienced mechanical problems on Jan 25 and has been unable to function since then.
Sad that it only lived for a month but it was only designed to work for three months. China joined a very elite club by successfully landing Yutu on the moon. Just the beginning...
