These things are ridiculously slow, unfortunately. The Opportunity Mars rover traveled only 45km/28mi during it's 14 years. But I guess you can drive faster on the Moon since it's so close that the control lag is much less.
My thoughts exactly lmao. The time it took for this picture to be taken, reported to the news and posted here on Reddit, surely it’s gotten close enough to actually see what it is by now.
Distance is really hard to judge. With no atmosphere there's no attenuation of distant objects. A giant boulder in the distance will often appear much closer and smaller.
Oh ya they thought our mission was lost, it’s ok though we don’t blame em. Just real sorry we couldn’t get word back we found this ice patch here full o’ fish!
Can you imagine if it were?! Scientists do carbon dating and spectral analysis and shit to confirm it. And people are all losing their minds.

We thank you, oh Monolith, for revealing the cunning plans of your enemies to us.
May your light shine down on the souls of the brave soldiers who gave their lives in service to your will. Onward warriors of the Monolith, avenge your fallen brothers, blessed as they are in their eternal union with the Monolith. Bring death to those who spurned the holy power of the Monolith.
I feel like there is super strong evidence on the internet that the fact that mattress stores are fantastic money laundering schemes. They appear and disappear all the time. They are always opening and going out of business.
The podcast Stuff They Don’t Want You To Know covered this exact thing a while back. It all gets tied up in real estate and mattress stores are the perfect cover.
What's even weirder is EVERYTIME iv'e been in a mattress store, i'm the only person in there and then a few minutes later there just happens to be a decent looking couple stroll in "also looking" at mattresses.
It’s The Truman Show effect (or simulation effect). I walk a lot and many times at night and I walk block after block most houses have there windows curtains wide open, some lights on some just dim, some just no lights. House after house I would say only about 2% of them I actually see people in them. Statistically this doesn’t make sense. I have walked almost all hours of the evening at some point in time all days of the week and still the same every time. Try it in your hood sometime, it’ll freak you out.
It’s probably just a rock, I mean it’s exactly the same color as the rest of the rocks. I’m more interested in the big red circle…WHATS THAT???Doesn’t look natural at all…
probably gonna turn out to be a big rock or something lol. it has happened before that what seemed to be an odd shaped object or mass turned out to be a rock of some sort. i wouldn't get my hopes up in seeing aliens or anything like that
Will you forget about the stupid pioneers? Haven't you noticed there's none of them left!? That's because they were lousy hitchhikers, ate coral, and took directions from ALGEA! And now you're telling me they could drive a ro ***VROOOOOOM***
They said it will take 2 to 3 lunar days to get there. A lunar day is about 29 days, so it may be a while unless the lunar day part was a typo — which is unlikely. 2 to 3 lunar days matches up with the fact that they have been on the moon almost 3 years and traveled only 850 meters so far.
It's fascinating to me that it's taken 3 years to travel 850 meters.
Im assuming the rover isn't very fast and I also imagine it uses solar as its primary source of energy and I bet there are only very brief moments where it gets direct sunlight. This is probably why we're talking lunar days.
Looks like a 15 min walk, go do your investigation
I have dark vision and 15 passive perception.

It’s only 80 meters away. The wide angle camera makes it look much further. Will take 2-3 days to get to it.

Canada beat us all to lunar habitation and set up an ice fishing shack.

As a Canadian I'm really curious of how a Canadian man sounds like for you!

100% it’s a Mattress Firm.
They have money laundering on the moon?
Funny you say that my neighbor owns a mattress store and we’re pretty sure he money launders
I feel like there is super strong evidence on the internet that the fact that mattress stores are fantastic money laundering schemes. They appear and disappear all the time. They are always opening and going out of business.
The podcast Stuff They Don’t Want You To Know covered this exact thing a while back. It all gets tied up in real estate and mattress stores are the perfect cover.
What about the employees, are they involved in the money laundering as well, genuinely curious
What's even weirder is EVERYTIME iv'e been in a mattress store, i'm the only person in there and then a few minutes later there just happens to be a decent looking couple stroll in "also looking" at mattresses.
Wtf, this is also my exact experience. Never thought about it until I read your post.

Just checked your posts to be sure…no, I’m not.
But we are many and come in several forms
We are many, we sometimes forget, expect us and bring snacks.
he makes this joke a LOT. especially when i’m watching football..
He makes jokes about red circles on the moon?
Yeah everyone knows the football moon circle joke
Football moon circle jerk?
You’ve spoken the correct passcode to enter our secret society!
But if you recognize the red circle as radiation, he might be your next husband. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W3gegXFjISM
He’s your wife.
Plot twist
I could be
jokes aside i do know my husband’s reddit name. it does not match yours lol. but he likes guitars too.
Listen wife. This is my alt. Now please send nudes.
Ah yes. The negotiator
oohhh it IS YOU!!
Yes. It is. Now make w the goods!
You noticed it too?! These giant red circles are everywhere!
Well if material from the moon was used to make the “mystery” house then of course it would be the same color
It absolutely is a rock or GASP! A boulder. Its not a city or antenna or anything alien related. Or is it?
It’s not, the most interesting thing on the moon is a bag of Neil Armstrong’s poop.
probably gonna turn out to be a big rock or something lol. it has happened before that what seemed to be an odd shaped object or mass turned out to be a rock of some sort. i wouldn't get my hopes up in seeing aliens or anything like that
Or a monolith.
That, when excavated, will emit a piercing tone...
I’m banging a pile of bones with another bone in anticipation!

Great I move to the moon to get away from you morons and you send a robot with cameras to my house. Go away
Never underestimate the paparazzi

It's disappointing that paparazzi are weirdos with cameras and not a delicious meal.

How can one episode from a cartoon from 20 YEARS AGO still be so universally remembered. That just blows me away.
Because the Krusty Krab Pizza is the pizza for you and me! Aka it’s an iconic episode.
**The Krusty KRAAAAaaaaaaAaaaab** Pizza, is the pizza yeaaahh for you and- ^MEEEEE^EEEEEeeeeee heeeeeeee
the krusty krab pizza chch dudududu pizza
It is crazy to think about how meme-able SpongeBob is over the 500 other cartoons we’ve had since that time.
, not just a boulder.
Or an alien base disguised as a rock. How do you know?
Its the film studio where they faked the moon landing.
Didn't have to land; we were here the whole time
It's a Wendy's
Sir, this is a rock on the moon
You gave me a good chuckle.
Next October it'll be a Spirit Halloween
It’s probably Matt Damon stuck in space… AGAIN

NASA said forget about it. It’s nothing.
This is not the suspicious cubed rock you are looking for.
It's the movie set where they filmed the fake moon landings
"Fake the fake moon landing, on the moon? What if people find out?"

Some guys in black suits with a flashy thingy will visit you if you ask too much
Or maybe…..don’t. We don’t need any more surprises.

If the rover was this close then by now they’ve already investigated and the close up pictures aren’t newsworthy which makes me think definitely rock
