NASA's Lunar Electric Rover in the 56th Inaugural Parade

[serpentphoenix]

All you people who want to cut space funding for charity, go fuck yourselves. BIG. Take your funding from the military budget you douchebag hippies .

[sirtimatbob]

How is the top comment not about how Obama is over here putting his hand over his heart to the rover, then they shut it completely down. The administration these next 5 years can manage to make some actual progress with Mars is the only way for them to make up for canceling the program...

[marilynspike]

What a dick Obama is! Hes applauding the new lunar rover, then he cuts all lunar mission funding!!

[smeato09]

Like this if you saw this on top gear

[broadcastworlds]

@smeato09 yes same

[bouffslave]

We need to sort out our own planet first. The money spent on that astro garbage truck would be better spent on sorting out homing the homeless and feeding the starving. 

[tvdays]

sad the president doesn't support space exploration

[dcb1138]

Cool...now all we need is a real space program to put it on the moon....So whats the point of doing all this without a rocket to get there ? Nasa has lost its way badly.

[nasafakedit]

NASA TOY LM SPACE CRAFT

Fake It Nasa Scum

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

Obama the first half-caste biracial mixed-race president not black

[TheJakeymon]

omg chebsbash you got to sit in it i got to DRIVE it. there are two of them. the slightly older one is the one in the parade and the one i drove. How cool is THAT. screw obama for messing up my future with NASA. He will sooooo not get re-elected. it drives like a helicopter and you have cameras that show the back and sides. we know the chief engineer over the project. IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

[gavincurtis]

Since Obama has shut down NASA, Cash for clunkers has been extended into the space program for a limited time.

$4500 taxpayer dollars to destroy it.

[911Sway]

History will quietly call Obama as the president that killed USA space exploration, forever. All the thousands technical jobs (multiplied by a 20 year program) will go over seas. The next generation of rocket scientists will never happen; all those doctorate of science degrees will never be obtained for jobs that don't exist. 30 more years of low earth orbit is not exploring. See what the Chinese do with the moon.

[Kapitananime]

This is heart braking. NASA does a nice dance to the man that will cut their legs off.

[FuriousMechanic88]

This Rover will never bee on the moon. It has the weight of a Hummer

[mrmclarenm11b]

@FuriousMechanic88

Even if that is true... its weight would be reduced to 16.5% of what it is on Earth...

[FuriousMechanic88]

@mrmclarenm11b i mean it will be a problem to get it to the moon not to drive with this thing on the moon

[bestlocksmith]

That New Rover is verry cool *****

[chebsbach]

OK....so like.... I got to sit on that rover today at NASA!!

[George21T]

something tells me this will be used on the moon some day .=)

[numantunak]

@George21T yes, it is planned to be. Look up Nasa Constellation. that is is the new mission for moon and mars.

[XxSaintIABxX]

Looks awesome! Nice NASA!

[robertghouston]

I assume when we return to the moon, the astronauts will ride in that lunar rover. If so, how envious I will be!

[rockstarrocket]

When I am older, I want to live on Jupiter. Jupiter looks nice from my dad's telescope. I saw the village there. It was nice.

[adriatic45]

Jack Parsons who invented the rocket fuel that nasa uses was a practicing occultist,and blew himself up during an experiment!

[mlgordon59]

Shut up

[saigonpunkid]

It's fake! there's no wind on the Moon, and all other people who are not in the glass room would be dead.

[moeorleanz]

Thats mars u stupid bitch, people can live, breath, shit on mars just like on earth. Go back to school.

[wikinerd]

Sorry,mate—you're the one that needs further education;

Mars cannot sustain human life without technological intervention—without the suits we will not be able to survive.For one thing is that the radiation alone is enough to kill.Another thing worth a mention is the temperature.

Second,you cannot breathe (it's spelt "breathe" not "breath") because the concentration of O2 is too low (0.2%).

Lastly,if you expose your butt to "shit" it will kill you because of the pressure (0.9kPa on mars).

[wikinerd]

Just let me briefly expand on my points..

Temperature.With a mean temperature of −46°C I doubt you would like to visit the surface without adequate insulation.

Also,oxygen levels in the atmosphere in Mars is considerably lower (0.2%) compared to Earth (21%).

Now to my last point.If your butt is not frozen off (for shitting) as a result of extreme temperatures, the lack of atmospheric pressure (0.9kPa) compared to earth (101kPa),you would probably be sucked out of the suit thru your butt.

[saigonpunkid]

no you wouldn't be sucked out. Even if astronauts got exposed in space when their EVA suits is punctured, hey won't b sucked out of space, their body would only be gradually frozen, blood and body fluids boil and escape but no they won't be sucked out because pressure equilibrium will take place quickly.

[wikinerd]

Ah then that would depend on the circumstances... If, say, the astronaut exposed their butt to the outside (as in just the butt with no opening for air) his butt would probably be torn apart anyways... Or at least their gut would be sucked out like that incident where a child's intestines went thru the anus because he sat the wrong side of a water pump

[George21T]

Will it true our body will boil but will it explode if 100% exposed. form the pressure of gravity . =)

[wikinerd]

First, let me mention that the flag on the moon is upheld by a rod at the end of the pole.

Second, this video is not set on the moon. it's supposed to be in Washington DC at a parade... so the people would not be dead

[saigonpunkid]

ok thanks for the clarification. So Moon videos are real then.

[mrsausage]

damn wheres the frikkin guns

[Tzimnewman3]

elpatriotaLX - Really, my depressed surroundings?? Where do you get that idea? You think america is that great. I would feel depressed if I had to live in a country like the US where my 4th Ammendment rights mean shit. Where the constitution is used as shit paper to wipe ass because people like you are to blind to see how your own country is fucking the constitution. You live in a glass house, if you dont like people throwing stones you shouldn't throw them either.

[frodegb]

lol@america

[elpatriotaLX]

Don't you fuck with America. America kiss ass remember that.

[frodegb]

with kiss ass, do you mean owe money to countries all over the world? and segregate your own people?

[elpatriotaLX]

It doesn't matter. The fact is that we kick YOUR ass Norwegian boy.

[frodegb]

whatever. have a nice weekend

[elpatriotaLX]

you too. :-)

[Tzimnewman3]

alpatriotaLX - Maybe you should kick your ass back to where ever they will accept your ass.

[elpatriotaLX]

I definitely don't want to kick my own ass to your depressed surroundings.

Now, you guys keep bashing America. Yet, here you are; eyes wide open, attentive to whatever America does.

For every action there is a reaction. These rules not only applies to us but to people talking shit and bashing.

You can keep hating all you want, but I suggest: Look at yourself first. Things are pretty messed up over there too.

[IsIndianaJonesHere]

That's a pretty fancy looking zamboni

[exxtraz]

Best part of the parade!!!

[pebre79]

The best part is when the astronaut saluted and carried the flag away - that made me even more proud to be an American!!!

[moeorleanz]

did it give you gooz bumps u lame duck?

[avermillion]

NASA kicks ass!

[htp22]

ma è la navetta usata per il finto sbarco sulla luna ?

[Tzimnewman3]

If Obama is the 44th President then how could there be 56 Inaugural Parades??

[vertigo235]

Multiple terms, for example bush and clinton had 2 parades.

[Tzimnewman3]

So they get an inaugural parade even when they are re-elected?

[vertigo235]

Yes they do.

[Tzimnewman3]

ah, i understand so only 12 presidents have ever been re-elected.

[Jordaxe12]

Some presidents serve more then 1 term.

[sunspot0]

anybody seen Armageddon...lol

[raphamar80]

Still a Huge backpack..how long can they stand with the oxigen from that pack ?

[MasterJeston]

well they get into the suit from the inside so the backpack is like a door, otherwise it would not be huge, I think its cool as shit, they can be on the surface for alot longer

[sepher01]

WELCOME TO EARTH! SPACEMAN

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

How much do you want to bet the guy in the spacesuit shat himself just for fun.

[irishdigitaldiver]

The new rover looks the business and the new suits too look alot more compact than previous versions. I hope Barak supports the push to the moon and beyond, more than the last administration.

[jonymamilou]

What a difference with the Apollo rover!

[HAWKNUTS4]

so true!

[stevescotton]

The astronaut could have walked a bit more like a spaceman, sort of slow-motion would have been good.

[PsychoCheese1337]

Says a lot about the United States within the last 50 years.

To the moon and a black president.

[frogeye3000]

That´s Funtastic!

Go U.S.A.!

[redstone1963]

What an awesome way to close out the parade. Go NASA!!Go USA!!

[woolgathered]

Wow- that is so cool! I love our space program.

[murrayrussia]

Super!!!

[gbjew]

This was my favorite.

[beenn15]

that was awesome...

[RHall518]

NASA/Houston, Texas represented!!!

[ErikjStudios]

HELL YEAH! J.S.C, Space Center Houston!

[SaganClassSC05]

Great way to save one of the best performances for last.

[codyhess46]

I wish they would have been in the parade earlier. When there were more people there. They make this parade way to fucking long.

[bigolslabomeat]

I don't think the 2 hour delay in getting started helped!
