The Lifestyle Vehicle minivan, probably being developed by the startup Canoo, was chosen as the «space transport».
In 2023, electric cars will deliver astronauts, maintenance personnel and equipment for launching rockets under the Artemis program. The mission involves a full flyby of the Moon on the Orion spacecraft. Two years later, the astronauts plan to land on the Earth’s satellite. Canoo Lifestyle Vehicle is developing the territory of two American states. The creators plan to present the final version of the model in 2023, before the start of the active phase of the US space program.
The developers plan to produce up to 17,000 minivans a year. Standard minivans cost between $34,000 and $50,000.
