More unreliable Chinese crap: China's Moon rover hits trouble: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-25908527
OK, I
know that other countries' space missions have sometimes failed too, but they
tend to be probes that have travelled further and they also tend to be relatively
rare events, but to send a probe to the moon (probably using
"borrowed" technology) and get it wrong in the 21st century???
Like I
said, unreliable Chinese junk. What else is new? Especially considering the
vehicle is known as a (god help them) rover. Now I find this ironic, as Rover was a crippled British car company bought by a Chinese corporation and shipped to the Middle Kingdom lock, stock and rusty barrel a few years back[1].
Rover was, of course, infamous for its bad managment, poor quality and bolshie workforce, the leaders of this latter being revolutionary communists. In the long run it looks as if they've won. Rover is indeed producing crap cars in a workers' paradise, aka an oppressive communist regime. China.

[1] Thereby doing British
industry a great favour while confirming my own pet theory that Chinese industry is
addicted to producing low-quality crap – they’ll even go to the lengths of
buying such industries in!
