Riding in style , what a way to roll around the moon ! Space vehicles are some of the most technically advanced Vehicles around , During the original Apollo missions , Astronauts had to be back to the lunar lander after so much time driving around (And they never really went far ) , now they will be able to explore for days !
fox news....
NASA's new moon rover looks like it's been on TV's "Pimp My Ride."
While the Apollo-era vehicle that first landed on the moon in 1971 resembled a rickety dune buggy, NASA's 21st Century rover plans look like a luxury lunar RV.
There may be no more open-air lunar drives clad in bulky spacesuits for astronauts. Instead, future moon travelers can ride in style in an enclosed cabin complete with sleeping bunks for long rides. Bubble-shaped windows will provide a panoramic view.
The new vehicle, currently being designed by NASA as part of its Constellation program to revisit the moon by 2020, is called the Lunar Electric Rover (LER).
