The UK is going to send a spider bot to the Moon
Despite many eyes in the scientific community focusing on Mars over the past decade, Earth's Moon still provides a huge scientific opportunity for space agencies around the globe. NASA is headed back with a crewed mission currently slated for 2024, China just broke new ground by landing on the far side of the Moon, and newcomers to the lunar space race like India and Israel have made their own attempts in 2019 as well.
Now, the UK is forging ahead with a new mission that will see a first-of-its-kind lunar rover journey to Earth's pale satellite, and the bot sure does look cool.
