I wonder if they copied the design from NASA :D

Also, if it's the dark side, how come it looks sunny on the pic? :scratch2:

50 years ago ..........

:dunno: It is supposedly an evolution of the first lander they landed in 2013

I was in college but I think Pink Floyd did it in '73 ??

There is no such thing as the "dark side of the moon" we just call it that. Far side is more accurate. It obviously depends on the moon's orbit and if the "far side" is towards or away from the sun at any given time.

Yes. Makes sense.

:yes:


And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

What a cutie pie rover, it's called the Omega Floyd.
