A whole lot of science news has been focused on Mars as of late, and for good reason, but let's not forget that Earth's own moon still has many secrets left to unlock. The Moon is still the only other natural object in space that humans have ever visited in person, and while those missions provided humanity with a greater understanding of it and a whole lot of Moon rocks, there's still a ton that we just don't know about it.
Moon missions have been happening at a fairly rapid pace of late, with China ramping up its space exploration efforts and using the Moon as its first target. Now, researchers and engineers from Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) in Dubai, UAE, are poised to send their own robotic rover to the Moon, and they're going to do it with the help of a Japanese aeronautics company and a rocket built by SpaceX.
