Forgotten Soviet Moon Rover Beams Light Back to Earth
I love the look of that Lunokhod rover.It reminds me of Russian author Victor Pelevin's wonderful satirical mini-novel "Omon Ra". The Soviet moon missions carried a heavy secret...There's a free English translation of Omon Ra available online:http://a7sharp9.com/Omon.htmlI don't know about the quality of this translation, but I'd absolutely recommend the book to anyone who's interested in post-Soviet Russia... And can stomach Pelevin's sprawling irony, which may be the only appropriate literary tool for approaching contemporary Russia :)
