they´ve actually build a motorbike designed especially for riding around on the moon

But who´s gonna take it there for a test drive, I wonder? :biggrin:

be cool to pop the first wheelie on the moon in that low gravity, lol... wonder how far you could jump a rapidly accelerating electric bike off of a steep bank? you WOULD come down eventually, wouldn't you? "Houston, we have a problem. i'm heading back your way without the Lunar landing module..." 😲

Hey, Cuddles , wanna race?



Future manned missions to the moon and Mars are going to need some next-generation buggies to get around. The Modular Robotic Vehicle is here, and while NASA's new electric-powered ride looks like a golf cart, the vehicle handles more like a hot rod.

Each of the four wheels can be independently controlled, giving it an incredible range of movement that perfect for dusty worlds like Mars, where it's easy to get stuck and there's no roadside service to come bail you out. It also has optional remote control capabilities, so astronauts could guide it to themselves when they need a ride.

sure you take this strange little cabriolet and I´ll take the moon bike! The one good think about low gravitiy will be that when you fall of or crash , you won´t hurt yourself as much as on earth :)

Now... how the hell do we get to the moon? :jump:
