Lunar Rovers. From Apollo to Artemis
When the Apollo astronauts first landed on the Moon, they couldn’t go far on foot. That’s why the three final missions were equipped with Lunar Roving Vehicles, or Moon buggies, which allowed the astronauts to cover much more ground and do more science.
Now that NASA is returning to the Moon by 2024 as part of its Artemis Program, it’s considering a fleet of new vehicles that will help astronauts roam far and wide across the surface of the Moon.
You can watch this video here, or it'll be live on Tuesday on YouTube:

The Toyota looks straight from a Gerry Anderson production.
Okay, Toyota developing a lunar rover for the Artemis program has to be the funniest thing I’ve seen today. What should they call it? How about, the all new, Toyota Corolla M? As in, Moon of course lol.
Oh heck yeah 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
