Gee, Lunoknod was sort of what we're talking about. Seems the USSR
made the same mistake with Lunoknod that we made with Apollo, lost
interest when the adventure was no longer politically exciting, didn't
follow up with continued program in same area. -- 23 miles is a
respectable distance for a remote-controlle vehicle on the Moon. How
far did the Apollo astronauts cover on their longest trip in their
lunar dune buggy? Too bad we weren't cooperative, or we might have a
Martianod on board a Viking.
