    This is the first I’ve seen mentioned that they will try and wake it after the lunar night passes. I had wondered about that but it was not mentioned anywhere that I’d seen.

      It says plan was only 8 or 9 days but they always seem to get way more life out of these things (when it’s not broke lol) hopefully they can compensate and keep it alive

    It came in at 3 meters per second… I just looked it up average man (recreational runners not couch potatoes) I think can sprint at about 3.25 meters per second. So that’s like a man sprinting into a dust covered brick wall. 7.27 miles per hour. But I assumed it bounced more with the lower gravity.
