Part 6: Lunar Rover In the early days of the Apollo project, grand ideas were devised for how to travel on the moon. With excitement running high and "GO" fever very much the buzz, engineers came up with all manner of vehicles for traversing the new frontier. But one by one the projects were shelved as each was deemed too expensive or too dangerous. Lunar Rover reveals the untold story of how a small team of engineers convinced NASA to build what ultimately became the Lunar Rover. The greatest challenge for the Lunar Rover team was to design, build, test and deliver the final flight-worthy product to NASA in less than 18 months. |

Thank you very much for a great series. I didn't realize how unprepared they were when Kennedy announced a mission to the moon, it's amazing they pulled it off at all. Loved the episode about the computer with little old ladies weaving memory - how things have changed. Cheers. |
