Episode Details

NASA has decided to make the lunar south pole the focus for human space exploration.  It is a rough area consisting of  high mountains, valleys, and craters.One serious problem is that the highest possible elevation of the Sun in the target landing areas is 7° making it akin to driving your car into the west at sunset.  Such lighting conditions provide serious challenges to piloting landers, operating rovers,  walking, operating tools, and just generally getting around.
