Apollo 15 Summary Video

The video "In the Mountains of the Moon" is a summary of the amazing Apollo 15 mission from July 1971.

Apollo 15 was the first of the Apollo "J" missions capable of a longer stay time on the moon and greater surface mobility.  They traveled 17.5 miles in their Lunar Rover, a "moon buggy" that they drove around their landing site, spraying dust everywhere in 1/6th gravity.

I'd love to go bouncing around Moon Base 3 in a moon buggy.  Maybe we can get one from a junkyard and fix it up.





Learn more about the mission here: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/apollo/missions/apollo15.html


If you have any ideas where we can get a cheap moon buggy, email me at
