After Chinese Jade Rabbit moon rover faced troubles over the weekend, the country's social media witnessed overwhelming response from people to offer their condolences. A mechanical control abnormality led Jade Rabbit lunar rover into troubles.

It was reported by state-run media on Saturday that the country's first moon rover had experienced problems because of the complicated lunar surface environment.

Concerns over the Chinese lunar rover led it to come onto the top most-searched terms list on Sina Weibo, a Chinese version of Twitter, by Monday.

One web user wrote that he is offering prayers for little bunny to soon regain strength to resume operations on the moon.

It was December 15 when the Jade Rabbit was deployed on the moon's surface. The rover is known as Yutu in Chinese and it was deployed on the moon several hours after the Chang'e-3 probe landed.

It was the third most soft landing in history and unique after the Soviet Union's mission landed on the moon four decades ago.

The news of Jade Rabbit having experienced troubles over the weekend was revealed by the official Xinhua news agency. Ever since the news has been revealed, over 6,000 internet users have commented to show their concern for the future of Jade Rabbit. All are of the belief that the rover has not seen its last on the moon.

Some parts of Jade Rabbit are not able to respond to the command of its controllers. Scientists are working hard to fix mechanical control abnormalities on the rover as soon as possible.
