Toyota, the company which has blessed us with the legendary Land Cruiser line, has decided off-roading on Earth isn’t enough. The automaker is teaming up with NASA to provide the Lunar Cruiser, a pressurized rig made for exploring the Moon.
Exotically dangerous: overlanding through Honduras.
Concepts we’ve seen portray the Lunar Cruiser as a rather large, six-wheeled vehicle with some interesting features. While the design isn’t super inspiring, we assume it’s optimal for the lunar environment and thus form follows function.
