The First Vehicle on the Moon Was Stranger Than You Think
I've been diving deeper into Apollo history, and the Lunar Rover turned out to be far more interesting than I expected.
I put together a short documentary explaining why it looked unusual and how it worked on the Moon. I'd really appreciate any feedback. As always, thank you for being so supportive.

I just met an astronauts who worked on the ISS particularly the VEGGIE program, and I can’t remember his names because of how in shock I was.
He worked on VEGGIE and is in the hall of fame, and I think his wife also was on the ISS and worked VEGGIE as well, I couldn’t really hear her. it was such a cool experience just at my job! We talked about growing stuff in silicone clay, Artemis, future of NASA and mars, and everything under the sun. He also told me the Martian and project Hail Mary were stupid, which I chuckled at at.
But I can’t remember his name. I have been looking but am having trouble. If you know who this is, a name would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
