REST MY good and faithful robot !!!



                   MAN ITS COLD ON THE MOON !!!


   
  Those of us who live in the northern climates are used to cold weather. We dress for it and fill ourselves up with warm delicious liquids , like coffee to keep our core temperatures up. However I do not think any of us could survive temperatures of   -180 degrees Celsius. You have read it correctly, minus one hundred and eighty degrees. Now that is COLD and the temperature poor Yutu and its lander have to endure. They will sleep through the lunar night and I know they will be alright. Those who built them and landed them know what they are doing.

      Well for me I wish them pleasant dreams and the happiest new year. 










Take Care and I will write soon !!!

WATCH THIS video of YUTU landing on the moon !!!

  Another day and more exciting news. This morning before my morning coffee I watched this fascinating video of the Chinese moon rover landing. I know it is a few minutes but if you watch all the way through without skipping you will be as captivated as I was by it. 

   Landing on the moon has placed China in a new space race. I was thinking today of the story of the tortoise and the hare. Even though it is named Jade Rabbit I do believe that China is the tortoise in this story. In its slow determined step by logical step it will pass the other space faring nations. Sadly these nations are not looking to the stars but on the ground and seem preoccupied with trivial pursuits.



                       Fascinating Video of Landing !!



                        Political Analysis of Landing !!


  Will write soon, take care !!

I believe if we look up we will solve more problems then looking down. Look up and look at these videos too !!! I will write more very, very soon !!

MOON ORBIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



        Jade Rabbit the Chinese moon rover has achieved lunar orbit . The burn to slow the craft was an important one . If it had not been successful their would be no landing later. Now all we have to do is wait, which for me is the hard part.

         What is strange to me is why the media is ignoring this story. Is it because the moon rover is not from a western nation? Surely this is the most exciting news. What could be more important than mankind's quest for space. We are to preoccupied as to the origin of this little robot. The United States carried the the torch for a long time and now they have passed that torch to China. For whatever the reason we are all one species. I do believe that the differences that people consider important will be seen in the future as completely irrelevant.


Jade Rabbit will soon being doing this for real !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





            




Good Luck Jade Rabbit !!!!!
