China has a rover currently on the "dark" side of the moon. The most interesting part of that project is that in addition to getting the thing there, they also had to launch a satellite so the rover could "see" the telemetry feeds (including video) and bounce them back to Earth.
India was set to launch yesterday I think but aborted with about an hour to go on their count down.
One of my favourites recently was about five years ago the joint US/European mission to land a rover on mars. They miscalculated the entry velocity and instead of going 100kph the thing was going 100mph and formed a satisfyingly large impact crater......
