Back on April 1, MC&T joked that General Motors would soon be mirroring the efforts of one Elon Musk by sending a GMC Hummer EV to the surface of the Moon. Yesterday, General Motors announced that they have teamed up with Lockheed Martin to develop the next-generation of lunar rovers for NASA’s upcoming Project Artemis. These next-generation rovers will dramatically extend the range of astronauts as they perform high-priority science investigation on the Moon that will ultimately impact humanity’s understanding of our place in the solar system.”General Motors’ History In SpaceFor those who are unaware, General Motors actually played a huge role in NASA’s first missions to the Moon back in the 1960s. General Motors’ original rovers were only able to go 4.7 miles from the landing site, which isn’t all that much even in space. So while we we’re wrong about which vehicle General Motors is sending to the Moon, we were partially right.
