A proposal has been put forward for the UK to join forces with NASA to lead a moon mission – with robots. The idea is to fire small robots from a satellite to bore into the moon’s surface and take samples – then beam this information back up. The satellite would then communicate the data back to earth. Nobody mentions the fate of the tiny robots after they’ve done their job – maybe they’ll be left to start a small robot frontier ranch.

This is really exciting and shows a growing interest to go back to the moon and pick up where we left off – all we need is a moon base and Mars will seem all that much closer. [SHOW ME]
