Poor Jade Rabbit. There has been no word from the Chinese space agency, but as lunar night fell, things weren't looking good. The national news agency released the story in the form of a diary entry. It read . . .
If this journey must come to an early end, I am not afraid. . . . I know I may not make it through this lunar night. The sun has already set here and the temperature is falling very quickly. I've said a lot today, yet still feel like it's not enough. I'll tell everyone a secret. Actually, I'm not feeling especially sad. Just like any other hero, I've only encountered a little problem while on my own adventure. Good night, planet earth. Good night, humanity.
It will be sad if the rover is lost. But I wonder who's writing this script - it's really rather sweet. Still it's been over two weeks now and no word.
