China landed its Jade Rabbit moon rover weeks ago and it's not going too well. Looks like it'll come to a cold, rocky and moon-dusty end soon.
But here's where it gets a little strange. China's official news agency, Xinhua, has published a fictional first-person account of what's going on in the Rover's mind.
"The sun has fallen, and the temperature is dropping so quickly … to tell you all a secret, I don't feel that sad. I was just in my own adventure story - and like every hero, I encountered a small problem," said the Rover.
"Goodnight, Earth," it said. "Goodnight, humanity."
Wow. That's deep.
