Lunokhod Moon Robot

Russia's answer to the Mars rovers..

Well actually, well before the Mars Rovers! The Russians landed this beauty on the moon in 1970 and it explored the surface for 11 months!

It's amazing the similarity in look and features between this 1970's robot and the Martian Rovers exploring the red planet right now!
