We weren't the only ones who found Jade Rabbit's final message to humanity to be heartbreaking, so did Jon Stewart and the Daily Show, who enlisted Sir Patrick Stewart to give the little robot's words the proper gravitas.
Though Stewart initially joked about the moon rover's current situation (and the fact that it shares a name with a dildo), and its inability to handle the lunar environment, he was won over by Yutu's can-do attitude and poignant last words.
The rover is believed to have suffered damage which will prevent it from properly "hibernating" during the 14 day lunar night. Scientists working on the Chang-e project do not know whether Yutu will be able to wake up from its long nap, or if the rover's electronics will have been irreperably damaged by the cold.
