Nasa is putting its newest technology through its paces in the Arizona desert, an environment it says provides a good simulation of the surface of the moon or Mars.
A rover prototype, the Space Exploration Vehicle, has a pressurised cabin, in which crew can live for up to 14 days.
Nasa astronaut Mike Gernhardt is in charge of the design - and has spent some time living on board to see how it works in practice.[/quote]
Couldn't see a thread for this already. Does this remind anyone else of the film Moon?

Isn't there a similar vehicle in Moonbase Alpha? Pretty cool, would be interesting to see it actually moving.

The suits that never come inside is so ingenious. No regolith dust clogging up lungs and electronics and no big bulky airlocks.
This is by far the coolest land vehicle ever made.
Slowly...
Slowly, but come on surely...
Moon base alpha?
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
John Madden! John Madden?
Seriously, this is far out!
It's not really surprising.
NASA created Moonbase Alpha, obviously some of the things you see in the game are future plans to be executed.

I know cool aye.
Suddenly Part of Moon base alpha makes sense, but only a small part of.
Now all we need is the funding so NASA can actually make this kind of awesome stuff a reality.
Looks almost identical to Moonbase alpha ; even the suits
