Mining the moon: Rover that could pave the way for future lunar bases revealed | Mail Online: "While Curiosity begins to explore the Martian surface, the moon may soon be home to another rover - and this one plans to mine.



Astrobotic Technology today revealed Polaris, a rover it hopes to send to the moon on top of a SpaceX rocket in October 2015. It will search for ice that could help future explorers set up a moon base - and is powered by solat panels that give it the appearance of having a mohawk."
