That's literally putting the cart before the horse. NASA is nowhere near getting back to the Moon yet, but they're talking about vehicles.

- spywaregorilla 5y agoThat doesn't seem like any reason not to work on this in parallel
- Laremere 5y agoWhy not start now? Sure there's a lot to get done before landing, but rovers are really helpful once you have landed. Besides, SpaceX's lander certainly has enough room for a rover (mass budget less certain).
- thebigman433 5y agoWhy would they wait to start this until they are ready to get back to the moon? This is going to take many years to design/build, so there is no reason to not start now. Plus its good to keep people innovating/working even if you are a bit away from actually needing the fruits of the labor.
- manicdee 5y agoA cart needs to be designed, tested and built before you get the horse to pull it. For there to be a horse and cart the cart necessarily needs to exist before the horse can pull it. What is really going to bake your noodle is that there is no horse.
