Chinese Moon Rover Says an Early Goodnight
hackingbear writes "The Chinese moon rover, Jade Rabbit, encountered an abnormality in its control mechanism before its planned sleep during the 14-day-long lunar night. In the form of a diary, the Jade Rabbit said, "The shi-fu ('kung-fu masters,' meaning the scientists and engineers) are working around the clock trying to fix the problem and their eyes look like a rabbit's (red due to fatigue), but I may not be able to survive over this lunar night." (translated, original in Chinese.) The rover landed on the moon on Dec 14 and was designed to operate for three months."

I'm curious what made in USA piece of electronics you're using to write that comment ...
How about a Lenovo on its 3rd motherboard?
So, when is the next China mission to the Moon?
I guess cheap knock offs don't work well on the moon either.
From that came one of the greatest Biblical space jokes ever: "The Spirit is willing but the flash it weak".

Must be really something to fight its way to the upper echelons of great bible space jokes.
