Lunokhod 2 drove on about 800 m north. On the next day it drove all the way back along its tracks to the southernmost point, turned and drove all the way back to the top right corner of the map.

It was incredible beautiful.

must make way for the new routines of the future. 💫

Engaging with the future 🌻 is a way

to ward off hopelessness, 🌬️

and remind yourself of your dreams. 🚀
