Driving Along in an Automobile

So in 2020 we’re supposed to go back to the moon.  I’m excited.  Recently NASA unveiled an updated version of the lunar rover supposedly getting tested for just such a trip.

The Small Pressurized Rover Concept can travel at 6 mile per hour and can hold a charge for up to two weeks of travel.  That means that with a pressurized cabin two astronauts can wander from their bulkier space ship to the further reaches of the lunar surface.  That’s pretty cool, though I don’t know how comfortable I’d be in that nothing but that tiny compartment for protection for two whole weeks.
