NASA's 21st century Moon car

NASA are currently developing this unusual looking new vehicle for use by astronauts on their upcoming visit to the moon. Unlike the Apollo moon buggies the "Lunar Electronic Rover" features an enclosed cabin and bunk beds for long trips.
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.

With the new Liberal Socialist government in place they'll be lucky to get enough funding to buy a telescope to see the moon. haven't you been reading on this site how the money that we give nasa could be better spent feeding the poor. never mind that nasa returns three to one on everything it gets. they pulled the samething on christ. the lady poured that expensive perfume on his feet and they said it should have been sold and the money used to feed the poor.
