Driving on the Moon? Hot dog! 🌭⁣ This vehicle – which looks like the front half of a famous sausage-shaped car – is one of many lunar rover concepts created for the Apollo program. Part of preparation for the missions was figuring out a design for a lunar vehicle that would allow astronauts a greater range of mobility.⁣ Designers had a lot to consider when creating a Moon rover: weak gravity, a lack of atmosphere, and extreme temperature, to name a few. These factors, frank-ly, imposed severe requirements on the vehicle. Each concept provided data that helped in designing the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) that made its debut during the Apollo 15 mission (swipe to see it).⁣ The LRV, which did not end up being glizzy-shaped, drove at a blistering 5 miles per hour (8 km per hour).
