The next astronauts on the Moon won’t just walk. They’ll drive. In a Toyota. This is not science fiction. The contract is already signed. NASA and Japan shook hands in 2024. Japan builds the vehicle. America flies it to the Moon. Its name: the Lunar Cruiser. Yes. Named after the Land Cruiser. The Moon is getting an off-roader. Two astronauts can live inside it for 30 days. No spacesuits needed inside. It runs on hydrogen. The tires are solid metal. Range: about 6,200 miles across the lunar surface. And NASA reserved seats on Artemis for Japanese astronauts. The first humans on the Moon who aren’t American will get there riding with NASA. As NASA’s chief put it, America won’t be walking up there alone anymore. One more thing. The Moon has no wind. No rain. Nothing to erase a mark. Those Toyota tire tracks will still be there in a million years. Right next to the American footprints from 1969. I get goosebumps every single time I think about it.
