“Drive Me To The Moon” is a firsthand look at the Colorado-based private group, Lunar Outpost, and its inaugural mission to the lunar surface.

Their Lunar Voyage 1 mission is captured in this documentary, offering a rare look at what it truly takes to reach the Lunar South Pole.

This is the story of the Mobile Autonomous Prospecting Platform (MAPP), an advanced robotic Moon rover.

Unfortunately, MAPP was entrapped by a faulty touchdown of the Intuitive Machines Athena lander on March 6, 2025.

The Intuitive Machines craft landed on its side, precluding recharging and deployment of payloads.
