It was cool, but highly impractical.
The amount of rocket power it would take to cruise horizontally for long distances above the lunar surface is immense.
If you are going to use rockets for propulsion, you figure out where you're going and do a nice, ballistic hop. This is probably the most practical way of getting around on the Moon.
If you are going to go horizontally, use wheels. Slow and bumpy, and leaves you out in the open longer. Single advantage: If you have a reliable source of electricity, it needs no propellants.
