“Apollo 15 marked the start of serious geological training for astronauts. Irwin and Scott underwent extensive fieldwork, including using a geological rover (“Grover”) as part of their training. Worden’s training for lunar mapping while alone in orbit involved flying over new terrain to practice the fine art of geomorphological interpretation from above.”

“In the late 1960s, NASA created an off-world analogue with dynamite and fertilizer bombs outside Flagstaff, Arizona, so that astronauts could train for the Apollo missions.”
Looking Back at NASA’s Strange Mobile Lunar Laboratory
www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-...
“Once upon a time, NASA had big plans for the Moon… back in the early 1960’s NASA commissioned General Motors to build the MOLAB, a mobile geological laboratory that would have allowed astronauts to live and work away from a planned lunar base for up to two weeks, collecting samples and learning more about the composition of the Moon.”

Space travel was so much easier back then. We used to play golf and ride dune buggies on the moon.
Today, we don't even leave Earth's orbit.
The moon is also in the earth orbit xD
Meanwhile, several probes are reaching interstellar space, there are a bunch of probes on and around Mars, others are exploring the outskirts of the Solar System, and another is about to touch the Sun. Probes have landed on comets and went through Saturn's rings. There is a new one on the Moon's far side.
The ISS provides a constant flux of scientific research, including how the human body reacts to long stays in space.
Extremely powerful telescopes are showing us the limits of Universe itself.
It's not just going somewhere what's valuable. It's what you do, but above all, what you learn.
Yeah... SO MUCH EASIER. THEY ONLY HAD A FAILURE 1/7 TIMES TRYING TO LAND THERE. AND WHAT ABOUT THOSE RADS, SO MUCH RADS, AM I RITE?
The Sapien... before you open your mouth on UA-cam, try to get som empirical and relevant facts..! And not show the world, that you have no clue, what you are talking about. Education.. is something you should consider !
@@KittyBoom360 Of course it's not as impressive! They aren't trying to impress you, they're trying to make discoveries and if you send a spectrometer that can operate by itself instead of a spectrometer and a person to operate it, and the systems you need to keep that person alive (food, air, water, exercise, radiation protection, metal security and presumably backups for all of those) then you've just multiplied the difficulty of the mission without getting anything more than a bigger headline.
We used to send dogs and chimps to space before we sent people there because no one is willing to be the first person to die en route to complete a mission they would fail if they died (rendering the whole project defunct) when the autonomous option is already available. Would we know as much about Pluto and Charon as we do now without them? No. What about asteroids? No. Juno achieved massive successes around Jupiter that we couldn't have hoped to achieve with a live operator and Voyagers 1 and 2 did what humans can't hope to achieve with the current state of rocketry - it's hard to visualise the difference in mass needed, the additional complexity and the extra challenges both from flight control and from the person on board's perspective.

Slick and professional presentation. Some of the slickest and exciting Apollo movie footage came from the shots travelling at "speed" on the Rover, bouncing over the surface of the moon. Wish I had one. Wish I was there.
Its so sad that Apollo Program ended
It ended because Nixon is a piece of shit that doesn't care about space exploration and long term lunar missions just imagine what we would've done if we had a long term lunar base
Have hope in Artemis
All movies have an end and the Apollo movies did the job. They convinced a world full morons that NASA with their Fred Flintstones technology landed a man on the moon.
@@varuzhshakbazyan5732 give me proof that they faked the moon landing
The lunar worm actually sounds like a great idea, because no dust could ever enter the drive mechanisms.
well that's true
Love this playlist
I love how exited the astronauts look
from drawing board to a production model that actually worked in one year! Phenomenal
Kinda sad that half of the comments are space deniers and half are obsessed with the presenter... I just love the history of the technology and the exploration of the challenges they faced.
What a time to be alive
What's even more sad is all the programs NASA had lined up that ended up being cancelled. To think that they had plans to land a man on mars by the end of the 80s.
@@buckroger6456 yeah the government really only cared about beating the Russians and it’s sad.
Hmm what’s kinda sad is how wildly inaccurate , ill informed and misleading the content is - it was a battery rover capable of 15 miles per hour - any common sense will tell you that’s not going to be ‘transversing large quantities of any region as claimed - the moon land area is larger than the United States of America - how would you respond if I claimed i was landing one of these rovers in America - exactly what amount of AMERICA would i be ‘transversing large quantities of in this - 15 miles and hour with 2 batteries - a suburb in New York ? Or would i be transversing large quantities of America ??? Honestly
We have a thanos car.
and a spidermobile
THANOS CAR

My father-in-law helped develop a piece for the first rover; our family’s name to fame!
Tell me more
Nice prop for holloywood set😂
No mention that an Engineer from GM came up with this design? GM continued with development of a lunar rover even after NASA had given up on the idea. The GM engineer made a working model that demonstrated how it would collapse and fit into quadrant 1 of the LM and "drove" it into Von Braun's office.
I wanna go to the moon only so I can escape these awful "Big Chungus" memes going around

I am so happy that space exploration is kicking of again.
Kicking what? Taxpayers in the teeth?
4:30 LRV in tow is a very strange way to describe how the rover was transported to the moon.
Did you know that low oxygen levels in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus of the brain can induce yawning

Most of school was BS but this bit about the hypothalamus is delightful!!!

Whats with the new get up😍😙
5:46 literally jumping for joy
LOVE THE VIDEO AND THE NEW LOOK OF MAREN 😊😁😁SHE LOOKS DAMN PRETTY
I'd bet money that part of the difficulty was the spacesuits. Also that an astronaut in a modern suit could manage just fine.
Thoughts on future lunar vehicles; something like a dirt bike would be light, maneuverable, and would be easy to use/repair.
bikes would be dangerous on the lunar surface, i think. You need speed to keep bikes stable, but you also need to drive slow on the lunar surface to avoid tripping and crashing. Something like an ATV might be better.
@@jemuelmongado5030 the only way to know is to try. Bikes are held up gyroscopic action, rather than momentum.

Wow!
I saw one of these rovers at the Seattle Museum of Flight...
So did I!
@@eaterdrinker000 cool ;)
@@Cod4Wii : Yeah, I visited Seattle and Portland at the end of 2016. I wish I could go back (without severely damaging my bank account balance)!
The LRV with 1960's batteries had a range of 624 miles compared to a Tesla model S with a range of 335 miles. That's unbelievable.
It's unbelievable because that dune buggy was a film prop.
That rover batteries will not stand extreme heat in moon surface at 120°C, even todays lithium batt technology will not functioning in such environment
Coz it's fake silver oxide battery used in Lrv is used in button cell now😂
So the Moon Residents watched the Apollo astronauts driving the LRV and thought, "how wonderful this human species that has mastered the electric vehicle...oh wait...lemme see those Terran atmosphere reports again...".
I would be absolutely terrified to fall down on the surface of the moon for fear that something would get nudged loose. Something important.... like a helmet😲
Don't worry they were on wires and even if a helmet came off it's no big deal because they were either in the Nevada desert or they were in a studio.
@@varuzhshakbazyan5732 youre dumb
Dont worry they had on two helmets: a smaller one inside of a larger one
LRV contact was awarded to Boeing Company, but the main subcontractor was General Motors and they actually made it 💁🏻♂️
I'm more interested in knowing how exactly that moon buggy in the thumbnail got to that position, given there's no tire tracks...
That piece of shit was just a film prop, they probably used a crane to move it around.
It probably was just deployed and not driven
Yes, there are visible tire tracks, troll. They weren’t regular rubber tires but wire mesh. They didn’t want to risk getting a flat tire on the moon.
That good footage back in time was proof that nasa is still 50yrs ahead
electric car too.
I just have a question, how did they do 3 days of moonwalking? Was there like a room inside the lunar-module where they slept and ate? Cuz 3 days is freaking long, I expected it to be a couple hours at most, but 72 hours?!!?
Every apollo mission was longer than the last, they werent always outside.
Felipe Hdez yes. But then they must've slept on the moon, right?

@@robs1529 Thanks
They're called movie trailers all Hollywood productions use them. I'm sure NASA had a few in the desert when they were faking their moon landings.
You guys should do a video about how awful the dust on the moon is. People don't realize that the entire surface is covered in microscopic glass that is blown around by our boosters up to 1400 mph and destroys almost anything it comes into contact with.
Funny you been there then? It’s actually cement used for the hoax!
First
Nice Intresting Subject
Is this a Canadian channel?
Soon will the Fusion drive be used on spacecrafts
General Motors
The company provided guidance systems, accelerometers and the batteries that powered the lunar module. However, the manufacturer may be better known for creating the Lunar Rover used in the Apollo 15 mission, which became the first vehicle to drive on the moon's surface on August 1, 1971.19 Jul 2019
What kind of extra mass/equiment was taken on Apollo 17 instead of a lunar rover?
Apollo 17 carried a lunar rover
Moonworm is my new disco name
Please, never crop lunar footage, it wasn't filmed in widescreen.
Good stuff though.
Driving in a space suit and space boots must have been a challenge
They should've dun sum burnouts 😂😂. Keen to do it on mars ae
What would have happened if the astronauts were the furthest point away from the lunar lander and the rover suddenly stopped working. Would they have enough oxygen to make it back by bouncing around or would they be screwed
They never went further with the rover than they were able to walk back when needed
If they were really on the moon and that happened they would have died a horrible death. The furthest they supposedly drove was about 3 miles, but even at that distance they likely wouldn't have made it back. You try walking miles with all that gear on.
But since they shot these videos on Earth and that dune buggy was a film prop it wasn't really a problem.
Maren
what kind of battery was used at the time for the rover? please dont tell me lead acid battery lol!
They were lead acid batteries, but those could only work on Earth and not on the moon. So NASA fabricated their moon landings and shot a bunch movies on Earth.
@@varuzhshakbazyan5732 youre dumb
Mitochondria is the powerhouse of a cell. (in case if you don't know)
I always thought Apollo 17 used a moon buggy too, also does anybody know why it was not used on Apollo 17?
It was used
It was in fact the most used rover of them all, plus Apollo 17 was the Only mission to include a geologist (Schmitt)!
Human in planet mars...soo excited!!...
I hope someone finds one on the lunar surface and refurbishes it someday.
You might want to hire a better fact checker. Apollo 17 had an lrv as well. If you think about it, having a trained geologist and no lrv doesn't make much sense.
Not only that, but it holds the record for furthest distance driven from the LEM.
Source: nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/lunar/apollo_lrv.html
Also, fun fact: the LRV T.V. camera is what took all of those videos of the ascent stage lifting off. Like this one: ua-cam.com/video/9HQfauGJaTs/v-deo.html
R.I.P. Opportunity
Should have taken the PX-70 like Jim Kirk.
Will it still be working if someone use it in the future when they go back to the moon?
The batteries would’ve passively discharged over time.
@@alexsiemers7898 Will it still be working if they change the batteries?
The batteries aren’t rechargeable
@@alexsiemers7898 change not charge. Will it still be working if some astronaut change the batteries?
No, film props don't actually move.
I can't believe people are so stupid that they believe NASA had an electric dune buggy on the moon in 1971.
love seeker for random knowledge
Propaganda*
she didn give credit to eduardo san juan who made this with other americans (eduardo san juan is a filipibo btw)
Only 27 humans have been beyond low earth orbit (LEO) and they were all Apollo astronauts, three each on Apollo 8 and 10 - 17. It's sad and almost unbelievable that no human has been beyond LEO since Apollo 17 in 1972.
The number is only 24. James Lovell, John Young and Gene Cernan were on two missions each.
Rip Oppy.
I knew the guy who created the tires.
She is gorgeous and a good presentator!
Imagine a Halo Warthog coming to the lunar surface.
Wasn't there a risk of quick sand kind of terrain on the moon?
There are no quick sands in the Nevada desert.
@@varuzhshakbazyan5732 youre dumb
Quick sand needs liquid water, which there is none on the Moon.
You neglected the LRV of Apollo 17. It was the longest mission...
Past was more brighter then future or present,
a Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar that shits bricks would be useful
Is there footage of the buggy assembly on the moon anywhere?
It unfolds when it’s pulled out of storage. UA-cam has a couple of instances. Search “Apollo moon rover unfolds”.
ua-cam.com/video/-ShauSWcTC4/v-deo.html

Fake.
They were able to do it because the Moon is flat.
NASA should hire you!
Flat mars society Wtf 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The moon isn't even real dumbass
idiots all over the universe
@@ruileite4579 we collaborate with NASA, of course!
one of the most expensive cars every built
the maker is eduardo san juan is a filipino who invented this moon buggy and other americans team
Maren is so pretty 😍
Quit yo simpin
How could they drive over green cheese?
The front wheel steering is what didn't work. The drive worked fine
NASA should send the first woman to the moon and live stream it, so inspirational and should be super easy by now right?
That would be quite expensive.
Felipe Hdez they spend $60M/day already...I believe the word you’re looking for if impossible
@@moneymikz no the Government just won’t fund it. Besides they’re already funding the moon trip for Artemis.
@@FelixHdez nice excuse😂
My favorite part of the video is watching how much she talks with her hands.
5:42 when NASA isn't watching
Did they forget about Apollo 17??
My Only one question is why Moon is always Black and White??
Just because of the colour of the lunar regolith
It sounds like someone told you to talk at half normal speed or something..
No mention whatsoever about General Motors who was the first to advance the concept...NASA merely had Boeing assigned to help GM...watch some other videos longer than these seven minutes worth, to get the complete picture.
Thanks for this interesting subject.
Honestly your natural beauty is beyond the cosmetic makeup
So could China drive there moon rover to the Apollo moon location?
Nope, way to far away, the moon is still kinda big.
Apparently YT targeted this video for possible conspiracy theories based upon its mere title mentioning the Apollo and the moon..
RIP Oppurtunity
Having once conquered moon landing , To make a bold decision to incorporate a lunar rover into the apollo project was an unbelievable decision ,
Is there any film of them unloading and setting this thing up on the moon? ...and if not, why?
search 'Apollo moon rover unfolds'....
Start at 1:31 ua-cam.com/video/hliHiQNn8_g/v-deo.html
If you can't find it, it's because "they" don't want you to know about it and if you can find it, it's fake because "they" don't want you to know about it.
@@jkorshak Then explain the video.
@@hypanusamericanus9058 What's to explain? If you're one of the conspiracy chowderheads, they put out the video to fool you because, of course, everything you see and hear is just another in an ongoing parade of events "they" don't want you to know about.
Now, if you're not one of those dumbfvcks, they went to the moon and after they got there and went outside, deployed the rover, and shot film you see as they used it.
The missed opportunity was electric cars, and battery technology that nasa developed for the missions.
Deception everywhere
Id have thought that instead of taking a car to the moon to go hunting for rocks it would have been more valuable to take maybe drilling equipment..
I suppose a car does look better for the camera though..
they took a drill on A 15
what makes you think they didn't take a drill?
@@gives_bad_advice I mean drilling equipment as big as the car so they could maybe drill some big deep boar holes.
How many people went on the moon?
12 people 6 landings, 2 people can fit in the LM
This is actually pretty cool. I really hope this actually works.
Low gravity = Easy movemet.
The spacesuit just pushes that equation in the negative direction. Imagine weighing a fourth, with the same muscle strength. That's an unfamiliar environment. Now add in a stiff-as-f*ck spacesuit.
who's to blame petroleum or the wheel
At 3:36 :D :D
GM (yes, General Motors) developed the Rover concept that was then built by Boeing. Give credit where it's due. Watch the Moon Machines episode on this: ua-cam.com/video/VhUGNaLgDJ8/v-deo.html
Maybe the Chinese can use the rovers for parts.
It would be cheaper to go there than to fake it
Yes!
