After what appeared to be an untimely death on Wednesday night, China’s Jade Rabbit moon rover may have sprung back to life, Financial Times reported. Just hours after the China News Service reported that the Jade Rabbit’s functions “could not be fully restored”, the official Xinhua news agency said that the robot was “awake”. The Jade Rabbit later issued its first Weibo post in almost two weeks, asking, “Hi, is anybody out there?” The rover was launched with full media fanfare on December 1.
