From now on, this is the only soundtrack I will use for NASA posts

Come rock out with The Angry Astronaut as they discuss the three possible lunar rover designs for the Artemis missions, while going completely metal.

I agree with them on the obvious rover choice over some very impractical designs.

But I hate their stream of highly deceitful UFO clickbait.

If I were the astronauts and looking for something to go exploring in, generally speaking I'd rather have two one-astronaut rovers (with easily interchangeable parts) than one two-astronaut rover that would leave us both walking home if something broke a couple miles out. I'd want a small, overpowered machine with a trailer hitch for towing trailers and, in a pinch, another rover.

But I haven't exactly been studying what they plan to do with these things, so I suppose I could be all wrong. I just know I wouldn't want to be hitchhiking my way back from anywhere on those lonely lunar roads.

The best moon metal is definitely Yuri Gagarin for that Epic Cosmiche Instrumetal vibe.

Looks like a Tesla to me.

I dig space stuff, but man, the soundtrack was way better than the video. Whoever the drummer is, they got a pretty good aerobic workout making that track. Is there a credit for the music? I couldn't find it.

I had looked, but couldn't find a credit for the music.
