Moon vehicle is a stupid name for a space mission. It should be something with cultural relevance.

"Moon vehicle" is only one possible rendition into English; another might be "Lunar Chariot."

Our first moon lander was named "Thing or person that measures and establishes points of reference on the land." Not very "culturally relevant," is it?

Oh, that's right, it was called "Surveyor."
