That is a good-looking flying machine. Sometimes, simplicity is king. Here I was, thinking that we had to create a flying machine, but the assignment was just to have something that flew through the air. We gave up on the potential 2x points for self-propulsion, but our distance was so good that it didn't matter anyway. It was a good reminder that, direct, 1-solution approaches don't always produce the best results. I'm glad that I had teammates who thought up of this idea.
Also, do you really think we could survive a 200-mile trek across the moon? On Earth, a person might cover 30 miles in a day (walking speed for 10 hours). I'm not sure that we could carry enough (even while wearing advanced space suits) to take care of us for a week of forced marching.
