The Moon!
NASA has announced they will be getting back into the space race by returning humans to the surface of the moon later this decade! While the original target date of 2024 for a crewed landing has been pushed back, Artemis 1 is currently scheduled for spring of 2022. The mission will serve as an uncrewed test flight of NASA’s new Space Launch System.
To date, vehicles developed for use on other worlds, also commonly known as rovers, have been unpressurized, and with the exception of the Lunar Roving Vehicle used during Apollo 15 through 17, they have been operated remotely from Earth. The Lunar Cruiser ups the ante by being both pressurized and designed for use by an onboard crew.
Toyota has signed an agreement with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency for the development of a new lunar vehicle known as the Lunar Cruiser. The vehicle’s name was chosen as an homage to Toyota’s well-known Land Cruiser line, only this time the land it will be cruising is on another world.

Pokemon
