Nice to see something moving on the lunar surface again.
Looking forward to the selfies.
Alas, now it seems the reported death of the rabbit is no longer

The moon is a harsh environment due to its long day/night cycles. This
leads to huge temperature extremes. It's especially cold during the
lunar night. This deep thermal cycling isn't good for electronics.
