Indian rover on its way to the Moon! Real-life #moonlanding and a #scifibook

A new rover is on its way to the Moon. Will India join the small number of countries to achieve a successful landing? We’ll have to hold our breath until August to find out.

The six-wheeled lander and rover module of Chandrayaan-3 is configured with payloads that would provide data to the scientific community on the properties of lunar soil and rocks, including chemical and elemental compositions. NPR

Someone’s going to make it. Someone’s going to land robots… and people… on the Moon. And soon, as space flight goes. Good luck, India.

Until we’re on the Moon in real-life, science fiction will have to do. Join a rambunctious pilot on her company’s lunar base. Fly with her in Earth orbit chasing a nefarious probe that’s attacking satellites. Can she escape a villain who will stop at nothing?
