New Prototype Lunar Rover

Fraser Cain writes about CMU's New Prototype Lunar Rover. "Consider this: there are two rovers crawling around the surface of Mars. Isn't it strange that we don't have anything similar on the surface of the Moon. I mean, come on, it's so close. Well, researchers at Carnegie Mellon are working to fix this problem. They've been tasked by NASA to develop a prototype lunar rover. One which can travel in the low lunar gravity, and hang on tight when it needs to drill down beneath the lunar soil."
