Die kanadische Raumfahrtbehörde beendet die Mondrover-Mission im Plan 2026–27

We had a Lunar Rover Mission and it’s just been canceled? This makes me sad.

From what I could tell from the article, this rover was going to cost, at most, a couple of tens of millions of dollars. So a moon rover, or a couple dozen Vancouver 2-bed apartments. Not sure this is going to achieve the savings they’re clearly hoping for. Not to mention they’re also slashing satellite projects that track ice sheet thickness and wildfires, both of which would absolutely pay for themselves after just a few years.
