I found it quite appropriate that the referenced CBC article referred to it as a moon "buggy."<p>More seriously, I'm excited to see more countries, and more people in general, involved in space exploration.<p>I also think that instead of pointing to the rover's failure, we shout point to its success: Launching a rover to the moon and getting it to work in any way, shape, or form, is a pretty amazing triumph. Sure, the US did it several decades ago, but not all NASA missions were successful, and it's to be expected that you need a few iterations to get the bugs out.
