Doing Donuts on the Moon

The last Model T rolled off of Ford's assembly line in May of 1927. Just forty four years later, on the last day of July in 1971, David Scott would drive an electric dune buggy on the moon.

That was the first of three Lunar Roving Vehicles that NASA sent up during the Apollo program. Cernan and Schmitt climbed off the last one, LRV-3, for the final time in the evening of December 13th, 1972. That was forty nine years ago.
