Toyota heading to the moon, developing Lunar Cruiser


Well, this is kind of cool.
Already been done over fifty years ago. NASA developed the Lunar Rover in their compound near White Sands Missile Range, NM in the late sixties. It was used during the lunar missions.

Frankly, I was hoping for something from the George Jetson collection. I'm really underwhelmed.
 
Well, if it doesn't run on pure solar batteries, accelerate 0-60 in at least 3 seconds, have GPS traffic management and get 500 miles between charges, I'm not buying one! :rock:
I want a range of 1000 miles. It is easy to cover 500 miles in eight hours on a freeway--Sacto to Las Vegas and I want to be able to get around town after I get there.
 
Kind of looks like the Lazer tank from Space 1999...

I'll say. I wonder what kind of composite material they are using--that sucker looks like it would weigh a couple ton minimum.



My guess would be straight carbon fiber. Super strong, super lightweight, probably with a super thin lead alloy sheathing for radiation protection.
 
That's funny.
What they really need are more LAND Cruisers though!
