Who Thought It Was a Good Idea to Let Me Drive a Lunar Rover?

They actually let me drive Australia’s Lunar Rover… I still don’t know why.

This all happened at AusSpace 2025 — Australia’s biggest space tech event — where I somehow found myself behind the controls of ROO-VER, the lunar rover being built to drive on the Moon.

Not only did I get to drive the thing, but I also sat down with one of the engineers building it... and then, somehow, ended up interviewing former Prime Minister Scott Morrison (?!). That’s not a sentence I ever thought I’d write.

This trip was insane, full of space tech, mad energy, a few surprises — and, of course, one very confused engineer trying to explain to me how to drive a robot made for the Moon.

So… did I crash it? Did Scott Morrison talk about space chickens? Did I get kicked out of AusSpace?

There’s only one way to find out 👇

@kkarhan I propose Free and Open Source Transhumanism! Let's transcend physical limitations—not with the conventional three "supers" of super longevity, super intelligence, and super strength—but with the four freedoms: freedom of form, freedom of lifespan, freedom of intellect, and freedom of software.

Imagine a world where technology empowers us to redefine our physical and cognitive boundaries. By embracing open-source principles, we can ensure that these advancements are accessible to everyone, fostering innovation and collaboration. Let's break free from proprietary constraints and build a future where everyone has the tools to evolve beyond their current limitations.

@kkarhan 🌟 Imagine playing the guitar faster or holding an extra tool with ease—all thanks to an extra thumb! Dani Clode and neuroscientist Tamar Makin at the University of Cambridge are making this a reality. 🦾🎵
