The Future of Retail Will Be Self-Driving
The construction of human space colonies is an idea as old as science-fiction itself. To not only traverse the cosmos, but to subsequently settle down on other planets is a dream we’ve longed for ever since we stepped onto the Moon. And today the international space exploration community are abuzz in the pursuit of establishing not only a human colony on the Moon, but on Mars as well.
Our dreams seem to be coming true. Though to successfully establish human colonies on other planets, we’ll need vehicles to accommodate the harsh conditions of space itself.

Equipped with an array of attachments, this futuristic space truck will be prepared for everything. In terms of transportation, whether you’re hauling equipment on Earth to the NASA launchpad on Cape Canaveral, on the rugged dunes of Mars, or in the Lunar skies no less, the truck’s concept design is built for any path, any direction.
This might not be the vehicle that’ll get us to other planets, but it will certainly be the one which keeps us on them. For more pictures, click here.
