NASA engineers have little appreciation for a truly thrilling Rover experience. For example, pogo stick propulsion would allow fun & games to be coupled with scientific observation.
First used ? Not hardly. Velcro was patented in 1955 and was in wide commercial use starting in the late '50s. The first lunar rover wasn't until Apollo 15 in 1971. According to easily found info on the Internet, Velcro was used only on the lunar rover's seat belts, not on the seat backs to stick the astronauts to the seats. How would they have gotten unstuck?
My dad helped design the wheels and actually got to ask one question to astronauts on the moon when they used it. Also there used to be a competition in Huntsville, Alabama (where Marshall Space Flight Center- NASA's r&d) on building a rover by high schools and tech schools every year. I hope he didn't suggest those lawn chairs.
I think the Rover wheels are the only case where reinventing the wheel (beyond the phrase) has ever worked in application. You see so many "ideas" which are rehashes of the early 1900's ideas and none of them work, meanwhile, these things could be usable today just as fine as they were back then. I'm honestly surprised that they didn't use them for the rovers on Mars, but i suppose they had to learn their lessons with their waste-of-time hollow message printing wheels that are getting continuously chewed out. They didn't repeat it on the second attempt. Apollo era engineers were steely eyed missile people.
Two GM car engineers came up basic model, structure. Started with where it had to FIT as freight. Built a radio control model. Put a GI Joe space doll in it. Introduced themselves to Von Brauhn by driving it into his office ahead of themselves. SOLD... GM did Most of the real car engineering, MD did the space Harding ...
The wheels were designed by African-American engineer Dr. Robert Shurney, who also designed the solar shield for Apollo 15,16, 17 ... and he also designed space bathrooms that function in zero gravity...among other things

But after seeing the videos.......................yeah, i question it.
They were battery powered so in theory bringing new batteries could be done. However, I'd guess that 50 years of solar radiation and heat/cold cycles have probably wreaked havoc on the electronics and motors themsevles.
Neil and Buzz didn't take a rover with them . Astronauts on later Apollo missions were lucky enough to drive them . Neil was lucky though - first man on the moon .
Mesh tires work great on low gravity objects like the Moon 1/6 Earth) and Mars (1/3 Earth). They also have a significant weight advantage, critical in Aerospace design. Plus the rovers do not travel long distances or at high speeds. On Earth, not much advantage. They do not have durability for long distance travel, weight is not critical. The higher loads due to our gravity, significantly higher speeds and distance covered, make mesh tires impractical for most applications here on Earth.
There's no notes about what a 210kg mass bolted to the side of the LEM did to the balance, which given the single central motor would have been extremely critical. Then the 1g winch at 1:11 , that wasted the crews of Apollo 15,16,17 about half an hour each. With a lunar weight of 17.5kg each NASA would have added two handles and got the astronauts to simply carry it out to a space on the lunar surface. The 1g winch was needed to play with it in an earth based studio.
@@PabloGonzalez-hv3td Yes, that's the only way to re-balance. There's no mention, record or discussion of this being needed or done - it's almost like they lowered the LM from a winch and so the question never came up :). There's also no discussion of getting an astronaut to move inside either, they both rushed to the front, noses against the windows when they were slowing down to land LOL
There is it not only might contain helium 3 needed for fusion is excellent for a telescope as a launching platform due to low gravity and to satisfy our curiousity

@@PabloGonzalez-hv3td Cook somebody's feet?? Check on their boots and you will find that there is no provision for the "cooling fluid" (or tubes) which there is in the rest of the spacesuits to keep them cool.

Looks so unreal. The dust apparently got quite some resistance to make them quickly reduced speed and fly slowly back to the surface, same as falling dust on earth. Which means the video was taken in an environment with dense AIR and big gravity. And we all know there is NO AIR on moon surface. And the gravity is 1/6 of earth. They dust should fly way further and should NOT reduce speed and the flying path should be a perfect parabola, instead of almost vertical fall at the end.
The behaviour of the dust in all of the Apollo Mission footage shown no air resistance effects and is exactly what would be expected of a low gravity and vacuum environment. The dust follows parabolic trajectories. On Earth dust tends to billow and form clouds. There is no signs whatsoever of this in the footage. This was filmed in a vacuum. Take care.

They need to maintain control, it's not a game, if an astronaut falls out and lands on his face shield, or even just tears his suit, he's dead, it's not like the movies.
I used to think it was real, but ever since CN made achivements on moon explore, I found this might be fake, cuz its so hard to get to moon, let alone taking a rover and race on there. Maybe I am wrong.
They freaked out about the Americans being right on their tail and poured everything they had into being "First at everything" - even putting their own cosmonauts in danger to do so by rigging impromptu solutions with the equivalent of duct tape and spit rather than take the time to do it properly - and blew their lead by neglecting the long-term. They wasted so much on propaganda that by the time they started serious development on the N-1, the Americans had been quietly working on the Saturn V for about 4 years. They then tried to rush development to compensate and, combined with the death of their lead rocket designer in early 1966, wound up with a piece of garbage that blew up every time they tried to launch it. Their rocket ended up having a fatal design flaw that would have required them to scrap large portions of it to fix, if not start mostly from scratch; having a large number of smaller engines, as opposed to the 5 engines on the American ship, caused so much vibration that the ship tore itself apart. Had they actually continued their plans to go to the moon, they would have faded into complete irrelevancy because the Americans weren't going to sit there waiting for them to fix it and catch up. By the time they had gotten to the moon, the Americans would have finished pioneering the space station, and by the time they got to the space station, the Americans would have done something else.
@@aemrt5745 lol It is as fake as says of our lives. They just hadn't expected technology like we have in the palm of hands now so the name calling, coverup and doubling down continues. No science at all
Fun fact: the first lunar Rover was invented in Philippines in the 19s and was shipped in many different countries and that's what Neil Armstrong used in 1969:)
I’ll tell you something funny. The moon rover was a blast. The astronauts discovered that they could jump from one crater to another, so they had a monster truck rally. But they broke all the fenders off the rover so they had to call NASA and say they were sorry. But it wasn’t their fault because those space boots are heavy, and the gas pedal was very sensitive. It could happen to anyone.
Let's take a bet okay? In a few years they will go back and if there is nothing on Tranquility base you win a million dollars but if everything is there you get tossed out with no space suit 😂

I’m not a flat earther, but I don’t think we went to the moon. I think nasa is a money laundering operation that has been caught lying 1000 times.
What do you mean it looks weird? What expectations did you have and what set them?
And only cost $18,000,000 . How much were the fold up deckchairs?
They were $38 million each, and that was in 1970 money.
uHff! Really outstanding 👌
I never saw a mannequin drive an rc cart before, until decades ago when I first saw this area 51 home movie.
I still haven’t seen a mannequin driving an RC cart.
Just an astronaut driving the GM lunar rover.
My teacher played this video in school
You do realize that sand already had a .3 frictional co eff. Now you add mesh to lower it even more. .25HP would even move the wheel
Sand =/= Lunar dust
Not the same thing. Lunar Rover Vehicle was a genius design.
How’d they land a car and people on the moon 50 years ago but don’t have the technology to do it now?
Cos it's fake.

Do you need a license to drive it on the moon?

I wish the Smithsonian Channel would do a video on all the Giant's Skeletons that the Institute has stored away in their vaults.
you're smarter than all these idiots that think people landed on the moon in a cardboard and tin foil movie prop... with a car no doubt
@a b That’s a car? Yes, the entire world are idiots, including scientists of varying fields and different countries. But you’re woke cause you saw a conspiracy video.
i think it should be paramount for science majors to take graphic arts classes and video editing history classes...........and vice versa, so that each could see each other's perspectives equally. if someone told me NASA landed man on the moon, without trying to prove it with the chosen video footage, i would have blindly believed it without any questioning. But after seeing the videos.......................yeah, i question it.

They were battery powered so in theory bringing new batteries could be done. However, I'd guess that 50 years of solar radiation and heat/cold cycles have probably wreaked havoc on the electronics and motors themsevles.
luna rover was invented by a Filipino
What kind of motor propelled this vehicle? Electric? Did internal combustion engine work on the moon with no oxygen?
Each of the four wheels had its own electric motor.
I'm sure the United States has landed on every planet in the universe. They just haven't told us yet.

Why don't we use these tyres on earth? We have to move away from rubber
It doesnt grow from tree 🌲?
Because we're not driving a 5mph on a planetary body with minimal gravity?
Metal on concrete.. use your head.
Mesh tires work great on low gravity objects like the Moon 1/6 Earth) and Mars (1/3 Earth). They also have a significant weight advantage, critical in Aerospace design. Plus the rovers do not travel long distances or at high speeds.
On Earth, not much advantage. They do not have durability for long distance travel, weight is not critical. The higher loads due to our gravity, significantly higher speeds and distance covered, make mesh tires impractical for most applications here on Earth.
Como llego a la luna y como lo bajaron.
Pure genius
My KABABAYAN invented moon buggy.
There's no notes about what a 210kg mass bolted to the side of the LEM did to the balance, which given the single central motor would have been extremely critical.
Then the 1g winch at 1:11 , that wasted the crews of Apollo 15,16,17 about half an hour each. With a lunar weight of 17.5kg each NASA would have added two handles and got the astronauts to simply carry it out to a space on the lunar surface.
The 1g winch was needed to play with it in an earth based studio.
It's not like rearranging equipment to rebalance was out of the question
@@PabloGonzalez-hv3td Yes, that's the only way to re-balance. There's no mention, record or discussion of this being needed or done - it's almost like they lowered the LM from a winch and so the question never came up :).
There's also no discussion of getting an astronaut to move inside either, they both rushed to the front, noses against the windows when they were slowing down to land LOL
Don't forget those glorious test flights prior to perfect touchdown in unknown conditions, these guys really were Godlike
On or near the moon, they are under the gravity of the moon, which is around 1/6th of that of earth. Balance does not become a critical issue.

Any ideas on how those lunar rover batteries (from the 1960's) weathered the 265F degree temps on the moon? How about their rubber soled space suit boots?
What is 265F going to do to rubber boots that's slightly hotter than boiling water
@@PabloGonzalez-hv3td Cook somebody's feet?? Check on their boots and you will find that there is no provision for the "cooling fluid" (or tubes) which there is in the rest of the spacesuits to keep them cool.
@@PabloGonzalez-hv3td So tell me how the Kodak film in their still shot and movie cameras survived the heat? Film negatives and films rolls absolutely cannot survive those kinds of temps (proven) and there was no insulation ot protection for the film in those cameras (proven).. Shall I continue?
I was employed with 3M at one of their smaller plants in northern CA, for just over 23 years ( until we closed in 2009 ). When the corporation reached its 100th anniversary ( sometime in the early 2000s ) they gave us all these big books on the company's history. I remember a photo of that footprint on the moon's surface....along with the story of how 3M developed the material that was used for the soles of those boots.
@@1BADGT500 - The moon has a wide temperature _range_ you're automatically assuming they encountered the hottest conditions and if you're wondering how they dealt with potentially high temps you should probably look in to how people walk on lava flows taking pictures and videos
Facts this is first made by pilipino scientific.
It looks exactly like a Jeep chassis.
Except for being a foot shorter, and more that two feet wider.
Really? A Jeep chassis is a foldable flat panel chassis with wire mesh flip-out wheels, and doesn't even have the same dimensions as any Jeep ever made? Really? Oh, let me guess, you watched a conspiracy video claiming it was a Jeep chassis, and just regurgitated exactly what they said. Right? Yes, you be a good little puppet and say exactly what your masters tell you to say.

Looks so unreal. The dust apparently got quite some resistance to make them quickly reduced speed and fly slowly back to the surface, same as falling dust on earth. Which means the video was taken in an environment with dense AIR and big gravity. And we all know there is NO AIR on moon surface. And the gravity is 1/6 of earth. They dust should fly way further and should NOT reduce speed and the flying path should be a perfect parabola, instead of almost vertical fall at the end.
The behaviour of the dust in all of the Apollo Mission footage shown no air resistance effects and is exactly what would be expected of a low gravity and vacuum environment. The dust follows parabolic trajectories. On Earth dust tends to billow and form clouds. There is no signs whatsoever of this in the footage. This was filmed in a vacuum. Take care.
@@TheWokeFlatEarthTruth ok chatbot
But how does it work if theres no air to make it work with engine
There is an electric motor driving each wheel.

If that is on the moon with close to zero gravity, why does the sand fall straight to the ground. Isn't that gravity in action?
Because they’re not on the moon. The whole lunar program was to keep the Russians at bay. After all, the United States was fighting a Cold War.
@@aemrt5745 yeah but it's falling too quick! 1/6th earths, it should be falling way slower. It's not hard to understand.

@@chriswalshe499 "there'd be a huge plume floating behind that gradually settled"....Dust can't FLOAT in a VACUUM as there is no atmosphere for it to float on. You said it yourself "the sand fall straight to the ground". On Earth the dust would billow and form a cloud. On the Moon the dust falls directly to the ground as you noted. Another proof that this was filmed on the moon. Take care.
Oi dis false knowledge

Was it easier to film the rover on EARTH....I guess so... hey...isn't that the same film as what was shown in the Apollo filming MISSIONS.

Why does not the rover jump when it faces rocks like it should do with 1 /6 of gravity?
because its going literally 3 mph
Good question
Because it is heavy even at 1/6g and it's also going really slow.
If you watch the video you’ll see him describing how the wheels work
They need to maintain control, it's not a game, if an astronaut falls out and lands on his face shield, or even just tears his suit, he's dead, it's not like the movies.
Do people still think this is real ?

If Russia was the first in space, how come they never made it to the moon after all these years?
They freaked out about the Americans being right on their tail and poured everything they had into being "First at everything" - even putting their own cosmonauts in danger to do so by rigging impromptu solutions with the equivalent of duct tape and spit rather than take the time to do it properly - and blew their lead by neglecting the long-term. They wasted so much on propaganda that by the time they started serious development on the N-1, the Americans had been quietly working on the Saturn V for about 4 years. They then tried to rush development to compensate and, combined with the death of their lead rocket designer in early 1966, wound up with a piece of garbage that blew up every time they tried to launch it.
Their rocket ended up having a fatal design flaw that would have required them to scrap large portions of it to fix, if not start mostly from scratch; having a large number of smaller engines, as opposed to the 5 engines on the American ship, caused so much vibration that the ship tore itself apart. Had they actually continued their plans to go to the moon, they would have faded into complete irrelevancy because the Americans weren't going to sit there waiting for them to fix it and catch up. By the time they had gotten to the moon, the Americans would have finished pioneering the space station, and by the time they got to the space station, the Americans would have done something else.
Soviet Union was. Not some "russia".
Propulsion? Battery tech back then was terrible and very very heavy. Are we supposed to believe that one of these did 35km on one mission?
Why wouldn’t it? It was a very light vehicle with very little resistance.
Beauty of 1/6 gravity is that much of a weight reduction. The vehicle could even be picked up and carried by the astronauts if needed
@@erac5855 maybe.
Light vehicle + little gravity + no drag + low speeds + no air conditioning, heating, lights or radio + no industrial or economical constraints.

Bull dust!!!They could barely fit the bloody astronauts in the capsule.🙊🙊🙊
I guess you didn't do much research into this design, did you?
It asks in the capsule half wit.
I’ll tell you something funny. The moon rover was a blast. The astronauts discovered that they could jump from one crater to another, so they had a monster truck rally. But they broke all the fenders off the rover so they had to call NASA and say they were sorry. But it wasn’t their fault because those space boots are heavy, and the gas pedal was very sensitive. It could happen to anyone.
