A company called Moon Mark has decided that it would be fun to...
...stage a car race on the moon.
Specifically, teams of high school students will compete to design small rovers through a tournament with the final round launched to the moon. The remote-controlled cars will race around a predetermined track.
They're pretty small cars; the weight limit is 11 pounds.
The cars will launch on the Nova-C Lunar Lander, which is designed to provide commercial payload to the moon, likely along with other payloads, some of which are going to support the Artemis program.
On the one hand, it's a gimmick. On the other hand, I'm mad all the baby roboticists I know are in college.
