Croatia's space program is set to land its "Histrohod" rover on the Moon by the end of 2012.
Costing 20,000 Euros and funded by a number of private donors the rover has been designed by Zeljko Mogorosa and is hoped to land in the same region as Apollo 17 ( the last manned mission to the Moon ) did in 1972.
Croatia is expected to make its mark on the Moon by the end of 2012 when Astronomical Society Vidulini from Istria plans to launch its space exploration vehicle - rover "Histrohod. "

Back on topic please. Sorry I got carry away. Once again I must say that Im proud. I hoped that they will realize this project. However I didnt hear anything on Croatian news about this. Not on TV,Radio or Internet portals. Well maybe it is not big news for us, I dont know. Also I like their eblem. It is old Croatian alphabet called Glagolitic. It is letter "V".

Oh WOW, maybe Croatian can land on the moon in 2 years' time...my my my how far we've all come since conquering the moon more than 40 years ago! NOT! As a skeptic with regard to the Apollo 11 moon landing, I firmly believe that if it truly happened, then we should have well and truly colonised the moon by now, if not making regular trips back and forth. The fact that we can barely replicate the event and a possible 2012 repeat makes big news shows that the original "landing" was nothing but one big giant hoax. Ha!

They plan on landing at the site of Apollo 17. It will be good to have 3rd party evidence that the US did land on the moon. I wouldn't be all too confident of that potential. After all, we have things like this: One of thousands...taken at that very Apollo 17 site, by Apollo 17 crewmwen, while they were there. Having other pictures of this same site, although they wouldn't be photographing the ascent stage of the LM, would of course be some other proof, but thinking that would silence HBs? Nah, I don't think so. There'd be some argument that they were fake. After all, the LRO photos, which are... [More]
