Explanation:

Humans did not land on the Moon before the first remote-controlled robotic Moon rover. Robotic rovers are used to explore Mars not because humans are lazy, but because they can collect data and perform experiments without risking human lives. It is true that there used to be water on Mars. During the Apollo mission, astronauts driving Moon rovers had to wear their spacesuits. The new rovers indeed have wheels that can turn in any direction.

A drawing of a Mars rover can include parts such as solar panels, antenna, cameras, drilling tools, and wheels. Rovers are important for space exploration as they can reach areas that are difficult or dangerous for humans and gather valuable information about celestial bodies. They allow scientists to make new discoveries without putting human lives at risk.
