We did get a glimpse of this vehicle at the end of the presidential inauguration parade but they did not give it much light but someone in the grand stand got some good footage. Hopefully President Obama won’t be cutting NASA’s budget too much and we can head back to the moon soon (2020). The Lunar Electric Rover was tested in the Arizona desert last October and is run by a plug-in electric Lithium-ion battery.

Hope we can go even farther and discover more planets. Maybe some that can support life. I’m so into deep space.
