Chapter 17: The Moon Rover

We all live on planet Earth! But did you know that there are millions of planets in space? Although we have fantasized about having life like humans on other planets, we have never seen any until now. Scientists across the globe are trying hard to find traces of life and other resources on different planets every day! We have already been successful in sending robots to Mars and our very own moon to carry out various research projects, such as finding oxygen, water, and minerals. These days, scientists are trying to establish the fact that humans can survive on other planets as well! Elon Musk is already planning to have a habitat for humans on Mars by 2025 and send humans to live there. Recently, India sent a rover to the moon that crash-landed just 4 seconds before the actual landing. If the mission had succeeded, it would have been the cheapest space mission in history.

In this chapter, you will build a similar rover and explore some interesting areas...
