This is the VEX - Versatile Environment Explorer.
Designed by Syd Mead, legendary futurist who worked on Blade Runner, Alien and Tron, designed this vehicle for Mars.
I guess this was back in the good old days when we though we would rocket to Mars in big, chemically propelled ships.
This isn't the future I wanted to desperately escape to...
Anyway, even though this design was passed over, I think that it could do yeomen service here on Earth.
I just want to have one.

critically speaking, this design is
rather basic and typical of syd mead yet well suited to the nature of what a martian vehicle needs to be. I have seen better from Mead,this one is a little bit formulaic.
