[edit]DescriptionApollo 15 Commander Dave Scott — First to Drive an EV on the Moon (49494749721).jpg |
Striking satin-finish 20 x 16 photo of Scott walking on the moon’s surface near a parked lunar rover, signed in black felt tip, “Dave Scott, Apollo 15 CDR.” A historical account on <a href="https://www.space.com/17483-apollo-15.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Apollo 15 — The Moon Buggy Debuts</a>: "Scott hopped down the ladder and looked at the field site surrounding him. "Man must explore. And this is exploration at its greatest," he said. Then, he and Irwin got to work unfolding the lunar roving vehicle from the side of Falcon. Next came a test drive. It was no surprise that driving was a bumpy experience, given all the rocks and mini-divots in the moon's surface. While the front-wheel drive wasn't working, Scott found he could manage with only the rear-wheel-drive system. The astronauts drove the rover a total of 17.5 miles (28 kilometers). The crew had one main complaint: the seat belts, which were difficult to get on and off, because lunar gravity did not push the astronauts down easily to allow them to fasten the seatbelt over their spacesuits." |
