      Makes me think of the road heaters used in Colorado. When road repair is needed in winter, the pavement is far too cold to work on. So they heat it with what's basically a giant broiler, a flat machine on wheels, one lane wide, with maybe 150 gas burners facing the pavement. It's a kick to watch. There are jokes about giant pieces of toast.

      Why are people suggesting cybertruck as a rover? It is not a viable option. It's tires would need to be redesigned, it does not have power generation capabilities, it would not survive a lunar night without heating, its touch screen controls would need to be redesigned to account for the space suit drivers will wear, it does not have any inertial (or any other form that doesn't rely on GPS) positioning systems, it is not remotely controllable, its durability has not been vetted at 10 years, the sharpness of the panels could be dangerous for the space suits... I mean at this point we have multiple EV that would offer at least an equivalent starting point for your design!
      To be fair, your comment is pretty understandable (I read it as a comment on the esthetic of the vehicle fitting with the moon, something I don't disagree with). I just commented on yours because I saw a few others seemingly thinking the vehicle would work as is on the moon.

    When I saw the thumbnail, I flashbacked to watching "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with Audrey Hepburn singing "Moon River" followed by another memory of watch Apollo 14? astronauts driving around in their titanium wire wheeled buggy... then recollection that my wife's mom had her hand slashed open when a spool of that wheel wire unwound while she was holding it (she'd worked on one of the buggies at NASA or one of its contractors back then, don't know if it was one that went to the moon or a prototype or what), fortunately no lasting damage, she was lucky.

      It's the brain exercising the memories by refreshing them...as one gets older, the older memory protein chains tend to break, or get damaged by a plethora of factors (i.e disease, (medical)drugs), and reminiscing helps battle that by refreshing them before being lost forever. I have a strong feeling it has become part of our instincts now that life expectancy has rapidly risen in the last couple of centuries.

    The Flex rover seem to me as the best. If they make a few other, much simplier Flex frames, connect it behind each other (with some smart flexible connection allowing still some degree of manueverability) as a "moontrain", and lay its top around with sun-following solar panels, (and one of the "payload" cubes of the "main" Flex is a huge acumulator), the rover could stay on the moon for much longer than 10 years.

    Pity NASA cannot contract all three proposed rover, as they each have attributes for specific roles in lunar exploration.
    Lunar Recon Car: for exploration beyond the base (Intuitive Machines);
    Lunar Tow Truck: for erecting outposts at sites located by the LRC (Lunar Outpost);
    Lunar Forkhoist: for unloading cargo, some for loading onto LTT.
    A welcome addition would be the Lunar Panel Van (Toyota/JAXA); this pressurised vehicle offers long range exploration opportunities.
    All four vehicles fufilling essential roles efficiently. Future companies will competing for future NASA contracts using these four vehicles as the base line; which is how NASA will view their offers anyway.

      The money goes to the development of everything from the ground up, literally meaning how to get from earth to the moon with that payload.

      The system triangulates base/Lunar satellites/Earth mission control with lunar outposts/rovers/probes.
      This system is a must; as while ILRS is led by China/Russia, it is a consortium with interested potential partners including ESA, France and United Arab Emirates.
      No doubt the Artemis U.S/Japan/ESA consortium will also construct an lunar InterNet/GPS but NASA has yet to present any concrete design for the Artemis base, as yet only GATEWAY specs.

      if you have anything remotely approaching a shred of integrity then I'd like you to honestly ask yourself the following questions:
      1/ How much do I genuinely know about the Van Allen Belts? - their shape extent and distribution? Energies and intensity? Type of radiation?
      2/ What do I actually understand by alpha and beta particle radiation and shielding against it?
      3/ What have I understood about the actual structure of the Command Module and the materials that it was fashioned from?
      4/ What have I learnt about the trajectories flown by each of the Apollo missions and their passage through the belts?
      5/ What do I know about what James Van Allen himself, (and his soviet counterpart Sergei Vernov) had to say about the belts and the Apollo missions?
      6/ What have I done to challenge my preconceptions and the claims made by online conspiracy theorists in relation to the VABs?
      If the answer to these questions is nothing, then obtaining the answers will prevent you from pointlessly bringing up something in public that you clearly have no prior knowledge of whatsoever.

From building 2 frigging factories, big hangars, to every test related to Starship AND raptor 2 and 3 development. Single integrated flight test costs around 100 mln.

They need room for 6 to 8 people in seating and with 8 compact bunks. They need to be like a small RV. They need to be able to tow a trailer or implement as well. They need to have air and pressure inside to enable the lighter space vehicle suits to be worn. There would have to be an Airlock Entrance/Exit Room to allow astronauts in the Moon RV to go from inside the Vehicle to outside the vehicle to do a moon walk.

    Road, pad, fuel tank are all 3D printed; with the pipework extruded directly from lunar regolith.
    NASA wants this constructed by 2029 along with "10 tonne of lunar oxygen ready for use".
