We’ve already gotten a pretty good idea of what NASA’s new Chariot lunar vehicle was capable of, but now thanks to NewScientist (and NASA itself) we’ve got a glimpse of the behemoth in action — on Earth, of course. As you can see for yourself after the break, the rig certainly looks to be quite capable of tearing it up on the lunar surface, with it boasting a plough to smooth things out for a moon base (or other potential lunar installations). What’s more, while they’re apparently not quite ready to be demoed just yet, NASA also has plans to outfit it with a drill and a back hoe, but apparently not a laser cannon — at least none that they’re tellin’ us about.
