UK spider-like moon rover aim to make history in 2021(1/3)

The UK will send its first moon rover to the lunar surface in 2021. A private company will send the world's smallest robotic moon rover, which will have legs instead of wheels and weigh just 1.5kg, as part of a NASA-funded mission. If it pulls it off, the campaign could make the UK just the fourth nation to successfully put a rover on the moon. (Photo/VCG)
