    I am going to write to the Minister of Industry asking this programme be restored. Maybe if there is a public outcry...and there should be! Canada was the 3rd country in space, has always been a leader in remote sensing technology and space robotics, this is our edge, let's not throw it away - again. This is our generation's Avro Arrow moment. Write to [email protected], cc Carney and your MP.

  2. Who Thought It Was a Good Idea to Let Me Drive a Lunar Rover?

    They actually let me drive Australia’s Lunar Rover… I still don’t know why.

    This all happened at AusSpace 2025 — Australia’s biggest space tech event — where I somehow found myself behind the controls of ROO-VER, the lunar rover being built to drive on the Moon.

    Not only did I get to drive the thing, but I also sat down with one of the engineers building it... and then, somehow, ended up interviewing former Prime Minister Scott Morrison (?!). That’s not a sentence I ever thought I’d write.

    This trip was insane, full of space tech, mad energy, a few surprises — and, of course, one very confused engineer trying to explain to me how to drive a robot made for the Moon.

    So… did I crash it? Did Scott Morrison talk about space chickens? Did I get kicked out of AusSpace?

    There’s only one way to find out 👇

  7. On April 16, 1972, Apollo 16 launched to the Moon! Astronauts John Young & Charles Duke used the Lunar Rover to explore the Descartes Highlands and brought back over 200 pounds of lunar rock. A key milestone in space exploration!

  14. Бюджет VIPER составлял 450 миллионов долларов.

    Для сравнения, недавно Пентагон объявил о продолжении разработки новых баллистических ракет для доставки ядерных боеголовок с бюджетом проекта в 140 миллиардов долларов, не смотря на увеличение стоимости более чем на 40% (изначальный бюджет был 96 миллиардов, но со временем он увеличился на каких-то 44 миллиарда)

  19. 📆 April 4, 2024 A pressurized rover, when it comes along with the life support, we’ll be able to extend the cruise range even farther away from a lander. An announcement concerning the pressurized vehicles is coming “about a week from now.” spaceflightnow.com/2024/04/04/

  21. Congratulations #ISRO and #India on becoming the fourth country to successfully perform a soft-landing on the #Moon, and the first to do so near the lunar south pole!

    The #Chandrayaan-3 mission consists of the #Vikram lander and the #Pragyan rover. The #spacecraft was launched atop an #LVM3 #rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on 14 July 2023 and successfully touched down between Manzinus C and Simpelius N craters a few hours ago at 12:32 UTC (23 August 2023).

  22. Very excited to hear more about India’s Chandrayaan-3 lunar probe, which has just made a historic soft landing near the Moon’s south pole

    The probe contains a lunar vehicle, which will hopefully help us learn more about our planet’s principal satellite

    📷 Launch from Sriharikota on 14 July, from ISRO’s gallery
