Abi, yeah as your Lego Avatar you'd fit perfectly into the Mini Rover should it be a goer?
I remember Angela telling us I think it was that 50% of the payload was still to be decided and discussed?
Of couse I hope some of this will go towards those camera's (be they fold out one's on a bracket or perhaps
mounted within the inside of a few openable solar panels?) not forgetting the built in LCD / LED Screens (either side)
needed to get those selfie's
But camera's thesedays are very small & lightweight and the same goes for the onboard screens, add in the ports
for the data chips beneath them and this would amount to perhaps just 10-20%?
Meaning we might be able to include another Mini Rover on the Moon for the first time since the Apollo missions?
Would be nice if they could mount a Hasselbland camera on one too (a nice nostalgic nod to the camera's used on
those missions) they still exist and I'm sure would supply it free of charge possibly along with the selfie camera's which
could also double as HD Video camera's.
I'm sure your Lego Avatar could be painted onto the rover getting us some great shots of Shackelton Crater
