Comment on China's Jade Rabbit lunar rover dies on moonparent

Comments

Fun bit of trivia: If a moon rover could maintain speed of about 11 miles per hour (17 Kilometers per hour) forever, it could circle the moon in 28 days, and would be moving fast enough to stay on the light side of the moon. That doesn't seem very fast, but with the moons low gravity and all.... You'd have to be doing science while catching big air.
