I note that they're going to use it to practice driving the rover off the skip and on to the lunar surface. Surely that's just a case of "ok, Bob, drive forward 5 feet", "done it", "well done everyone, back to mine for a party!"
How much practice does one need to drive forward in a straight line? Ah, these are Yanks we're talking about. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

I thought the thing on my neighbour's drive was a prototype as the careful arrangement of the deposited material was so similar Rob Smith
