seriously NASA get a unimog one of the big ones, convert it to run on electricity and pressurize the inside of it. There I saved you eleventeen billion dollars
@Triborough: I'm with you on this one. I have yet to see an Astronaut do anything in space that a robot could not do. Anything useful that is, not something required to simply keep more astronauts alive (like building the international space station).
Maybe the manned space flight part of NASA could be recycled into a parade float manufacturer...
Rover?! You mean we're buying a thirty year old craptastic British design, now reskinned and built by the lowest bidder in China? The military-industrial complex really is on hard times these days.
Interesting. Because spacesuits can't fold up, they're just attached to the outside of the vehicle for climbing into. Great idea, but my question is how do they detach the suits from the buggy without losing pressurization?

NASA could be a cash cow if they just focused on commercial launches instead of this manned spaceflight crap.

Is it coming to SEMA?
So is it a Rover or a Roewe?
Rover hum. Will it have Lucas electrical systems?
And of course: it'll buff right out.

Kinda like on those sticky summer days how you close the screen door behind you really quick so you don't let all the bugs into the house.
