Jade Rabbit was traversing southwards from the landing site as the incident occurred just days ago about six weeks into its planned 3 month moon roving expedition.
However very few details have emerged or been released by the Chinese government about Yutus condition or fate.

Maybe the Jade Rabbit ate some of those Chinese made chicken flavored dog treats.

Hey, I'm no fan of the ChiComs. For me they're right "down there" with The Kenyan.
However, the ChiComs deserve some credit for getting the Lunar Lander there, even if they did steal 95-percent of the technology.

Not sure they stole the tech
They paid for it.
Clinton got a trailer park and Al got some suitcases with paper.....
