Hey guys, I have a suggestion regarding the Apollo missions. Currently the Apollo missions we have include a lunar landing with a rover on a short duration mission. Would it not make more sense to include the rover only on long duration lunar missions? In real life the first several landing missions weren't really scientific-focused affairs, and didn't say on the moon for that long.

Furthermore if only Apollo missions can use the rover/go on long duration missions, then there is some incentive for the player to choose that program over Gemini direct decent. If you want to get there fast, choose Gemini. If you want to do some serious work on the moon, choose Apollo.

Haha, the mini-bike would have been awesome! Perhaps not as useful as the rover, though.
