Lord British's Lost Lunar Rover Found, After 37 Years

Posted by timothy on from the where-did-you-put-it-down? dept.

Lanxon writes "The guy behind Ultima Online once bought an old Russian rover, despite it being lost on the moon somewhere. And now, using images released by NASA, it has been located on the moon's surface after nearly four decades of being MIA, reports Wired. Richard Garriott, who created the Ultima Online multiplayer game, bought the Lunokhod 2 in a Sotheby's auction in New York in 1998. And so new was the discovery of his lost possession, he hadn't even heard that the craft had been discovered when Wired spoke to him." (Richard Garriott is also well known as Lord British.)

    I mean, creating the ID just for that one post? Or is this how we get such high IDs on the board (and we don't really have 1.3 million readers..)
