La Repubblica today says it is alive!

Oh it's alive, but have they got it moving again as it's been frozen in place since the 25th of last month.

Cheers.

China is worried that its unmanned lunar rover known as Yutu, or Jade Rabbit, is frozen on the moon’s dark side.

On December 14, Yutu became China’s first rover to land on the moon. As the first lunar landing of any kind since 1976, it was a major triumph for the Chinese.

update...

You did mean far side I hope. All sides of the moon are dark for two weeks every cycle.

My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events.
