Why does the VIPER rover use 4 wheels and not 6?

All of NASA's Mars rovers use six wheels in a "rocker-bogie" arrangement to help them traverse Mars's rocky terrain. Why does the VIPER rover destined for the Moon only use four? Doesn't the Moon also have quite a few rocks? Thanks!

I'm a noob at Astronomy what do you reccomend for getting started?

Hi everyone, looking to buy a decent telescope

Asking for opinions on what to get. I am looking to spend around $500 USD. And I would like something that I can take pictures through with a DLSR camera. I have a simple one now, but gonna give it to the neighbor's kids, but I really have no idea what I need. Is there some resource that can explain the different features? I guess I am looking for a good intro telescope with decent ability to view planets, is that possible with my price range?

Preparation is everything! In this first installment of LIFTOFF, watch as the @NMSU Atomic Aggies get ready to take their rocket to the @Spaceport_Cup with the help of the #VirginGalactic team. 🎥🚀: https://t.co/XK2OqYuQt7 https://t.co/yl4reU624b

can you answer a question I've wondered?

Something I've always wondered. If there was another planet on our exact orbit- for the sake of argument let's say it's of equal size/mass- on the exact opposite of the sun, would we be able to detect it? If so how?
