- Where we’re going, we don’t need roads... but we still need tires! In this episode, we rolled on over to NASA’s Glenn Research Center where engineer Heather Oravec is reinventing the wheel - literally! Heather explains her work in creating wheels intended for use on other celestial bodies, such as the Moon, and how she got traction in this unique career.

so inspiring!!
Wanted to hear more about those awesome new tire technologies !
This is amazing stuff ! Kudos !
The one engineering job where reinventing the wheel is a good thing.
Looks awesome
Amazing ❤
How y'all going to replace the old tyres, to these long lasting tyres, of Mars rovers and moon rovers??? ❤Liked your Tech 🎉🎉
Good work
Fantastic
Great 👌
👏
How does this desing hold up to the solar radiation in comparison to the solid wheels on Mars rover now??
Neat

😂😂😂
What if single rode fails? Just as a beginning... There is no compound like in rubber tire or reinforced composite.
If it could make long lasting wheel to moon or Martian surfaces, why can't we make such tyres for Erath surfaces? That's the business right?
