Made in China rover on the Moon.

Sorry, as founding signatories of the Outer Space Treaty, which "explicitly forbids any government from claiming a celestial resource such as the Moon or a planet", you dropped the ball on that one. ;)

Ok, so then we've just had de facto ownership for the last 40 years :p
 
Spaaaaaace > International politics.

I'm thrilled to see man-made stuff on the moon, regardless of its country of origin.

You said it man!

Politics and politicians are the biggest thieves and LOSERS on the globe. :)

That show "the biggest loser" should only have politicians on it...

I love my cheesy cruddy jokes though. :D

But all jokes aside - this is AWESOME

:-D

I wonder if humanity will be able to go to Mars in the near future?

They say the Martian atmosphere is like 95% carbon dioxide... I have always loved space. :)

But I agree with codesplice!

Turd > Politicians

:-D

They plan on landing on Mars in 2020. The second round of applications for the program will be opening up soon but it's a one way trip.
 
Does this Rover know any Kung Fu?

Only the greatest of Masters know the Kung Fu... it also needs a looooooong beard to make sure it is 1 of the greatest Kung Fu masters that has ever lived ever...

The beard needs to be soooo long that it goes around the Pyramids... through the Arch De Triumph and over the Great Wall of China... this beard must wrap itself around the world multiple times in order to become a great Kung Fu Rover...

If this rover does not show great skills in the Kung Fu... then it is not a great rover...

Do you guys know who is the greatest Kung Fu master that has ever lived ever?

If you can tell the greatest master ever... then you will have my respect... ek se. :D

Just try and snatch pebbles from it.
 
Chinese electronics < Japanese. They shoulda had it assembled in Japan. :p
 
They could have taken a lesson from Spirit. She crashed totally from a memory glitch. Kept waking up and rebooting for a bit, until someone managed to get a shutdown command to work at a slower bitrate.

Spirit got stuck in a bit of soft dirt, and stayed there for about nine months until communication failed. There was no memory-related crash. That was also about five and a half years after her mission was supposed to be over. How exactly is that applicable to China's rover?

(I stand corrected - there was a memory issue earlier on in the mission. I completely forgot about that and was just focusing on the end of the mission. Turns out I shouldn't forum after several drinks ;-) sorry about that!)

Please be more specific ;)
 
I hate to see a scientific mission go bust so early in its term, but I'm amused that the "farewell" message is written as if it were the rover speaking.

Kind of makes me think of a less-funny @SarcasticRover ;)


There was a much funnier Curiosity parody account, @MarsCuroisity.

However, it was eventually banned.
