Solar electricity is needed so to keep the base running it would need to be in light.

Who built the lunar rover?

The Lunar Rover was a joint venture between Boeing and General Motors and was a costs plus contract that started out at $19M and ended up upwards of $38M after prototypes and and trainers were built.


Infer why it might be better to build a future moon base on a brightly lit plateau near a lunar pole in the vicinity of a deep crater Why not build a base in the crater itself?

Building on a brightly lit plateau near a lunar pole can provide consistent sunlight for power generation while also allowing access to nearby resources such as water ice. Placing a base in a deep crater may limit sunlight exposure, making power generation less reliable and potentially hindering communication with Earth. Additionally, establishing a base on the edge of a crater provides protection from micrometeoroids and radiation while still allowing easy access to resources in the crater.


Is the near side (facing Earth) always the dark side?

We on earth always see the same face of the moon, but the "dark side" of the moon is not always dark. For example, in a lunar eclipse, the back side of the moon is receiving all of the sunlight, while the side facing us receives none.


What happens when earth blocks the moon from the sun?

When the Earth blocks the Moon from the Sun, it causes a lunar eclipse. This occurs when the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon, temporarily blocking sunlight from reaching it. The Moon may appear reddish during a lunar eclipse due to some sunlight being refracted through Earth's atmosphere.


Which of these lunar features is the youngest?

The youngest lunar feature is a volcanic crater called Aristarchus Plateau located on the Moon's near side. It has a bright spot due to recent volcanic activity, and radiometric dating estimates its age at around 450 million years old.

Should there be a lunar base built on mars why?

No there should not be a lunar base built on Mars, because the word Lunar refers to the moon, and not Mars. If the question is, should a Martian base be built on Mars, that's a different question.
