China has successfully landed a spacecraft on the Moon. The unmanned
lunar rover called the Jade Rabbit is designed to search for minerals.Al
Jazeera's Rob McBride reports from Beijing.
Once on the moon, the lander will unleash the instrument-laden Yutu rover,
a six-wheeled robot built to trundle across the dusty, time-weathered
terrain for months. Yutu — which means "Jade Rabbit" — is named after
the rabbit that travels with the goddess Chang'e to the moon in Chinese
legends
