Am I the only one who likes exploring surfaces?

[Xavven]

I like surface exploration too, but I dislike rovers specifically. My exploration vehicles are mostly hoppers.

When propellers were added, my Eve exploration vehicle of choice became a quad-copter. Before that, I had designed a rover with a roll cage and flip-righting  mechanism and drove several tens of kilometers with it, some manned, some not. It's fun trying to get up a crater edge and back down without eating dirt. But in the end, wheeled vehicles are too slow for instant-gratification me.

We lost many rovers because they got dust on their solar panels, this would have been easily fixed by a a crew member with a broom.

Imagine if that was your job on a mission to Mars. “This is Mission Specialist Smith our SPS (solar panel sweeper). He trained for 3 years learning broom handling in low gravity environments”.

I think this speaks for itself.

The only surface I have really explored is Dres. It took me a Few IRL hours to drive 20 kilometers. I’m sure I would like surface exploration more if I went to a less boring planet celestial body.

Spoiler

I can see why people say Dres doesn’t exist. It is very boring.

Yes, I like moving around! What's the point of going to other planets and not exploring? I recently have mostly done short test trips on Kerbin (Mostly KSC) with new cranes, trucks, cars, and other regular ground vehicles I have built.
