The Lunar Rover was Almost as Badass as the Astronauts Who Drove it
“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.”
When We Blew Up Arizona to Simulate the Moon
“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
“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.”
