  • Anyone notice it actually has 13 wheels? and not 6... and yes i did include the steering wheel.

  • @MrEurovision2010 6 wheels on one side

  • Comment removed

  • Who-stun

  • Wow ... that's great ... now all they have to do is figure out how to get all this stuff to the moon along with some humans ...

    Should be a breeze considering how easy it was 40 years ago and how much our technology has advanced ... What's that ... it's harder than we thought .... ??? JUst get out the old lunar lander plans and go from there ... what's that ... they were all destroyed along with all the telemetry and original video of the landing....! geez .... what a bummer!

  • @obergsson

    Fag

  • @obergsson Its youtube not public speaking class calm down

  • please we do not need roads on the moon please leave it as it is

  • Predecessor to the M35 Mako Rover? ;)

  • hey the charriot was made by mortonthiocol

     for erwin allen

  • yeah, lets bulldoze the moon

  • cool vehicle for lunar base

  • The fact that for this mission to the moon, Nasa is using very similar designs as the last time. Gee, I wonder why, because last time worked! What are all of the deniers going to say when we land there again, and take footage of the last sight? That we quick put all that up there? riiiiiiiight, nothing will prove it to them, because they don't want to believe it

  • I counted twelve wheels in six pairs not six they need to get a narrator that doesn't show up high or drunk.

    Also all comments on whether the moon has gravity it does but about 1/6 g I swear some people must have flunked basic science.

    Too bad the crew vehicle and launch vehicle development programs are dead in the water.

    We have a lunar bull dozer but no way to get it on the moon until I guess someone like spacex comes to the rescue.

  • is this a LEGO comercial  ???

  • haha ho!

  • So.. now were going to destroy the moon too?

  • nice

  • search squirrels vs penguins. plz comment

  • Cool, she uploaded to dEfSpot CoM too not bad...

  • Did you read on the BBC website about the new 'moon' engineers wondering how on earth the original 'Apollo' astronauts got past the radiation problems? They are visiting Nasa museums etc to find information... makes you think doesn't it

  • they did it the same way that they will do the next decade, with a little capsule and a high tech suit... 7 day that close to earth doesn't harm no human being

  • Doesn't the intense radiation from the sun harm them regardless? isn't there a radiation belt starting from about 1000 miles out onwards? - i saw a report about the closer shuttle crew seeing flashes of lights (with eyes closed) which was the radiation of course, what about lead on the ships & suits, that would protect them... ahh but they wouldn't be able to take off with the weight, never mind, I'm sure they'll work it out :)

  • I saw that too on National geografic channel, quite interesting doc. Eventualy they will get something against it :P

  • radiation levels in space are greatly increased. If you are in the space staion your fine but during a space walk you itake in about 6 months worth of normal earth radiation in 24 hours. ATM they are working hard on better suits!

  • how about we use that money to help starving kids in watts?

  • because the world is already overpopulated and feeding the starving kids will only worsen our problem?

  • Good, we'll need that helium 3 soon with the peak oil crisis upon us. Besides, I'd love to be a dust farmer on the moon

  • Each of the six wheels? Meanwhile, it has twelve.

  • Hooston Texas?

  • lol i said the same thing a couple comments ago

  • 'U's don't exist on the Moon...

  • What a waste of money, time and research

  • i want to drive that around town

  • thats good

  • I like the design. It wont tip over easily.

  • Silly video.

  • south only exists on earth you idiot

  • if it had gravity . then you would have to have lots of fuel . so you wont keep falling down .

    anyways . how do we now in space where is south since there is no gravity and compass dont work out there ?

  • that narrator had a sweeeeeet voice

  • lol she said "Hooston".. its HUSTON

  • its Houston..

  • sry typing to fast have so much to do today... lol my diss got dissed, i got to write slower

  • its all good no worries but either way she had an interesting pronunciation for the word

  • ya.

  • Aren't there 12 wheels?

  • six pairs

  • my question is .

    how is that thing gonna stick to the ground if theres no gravity on the moon ?

    Edvard0

  • Since when is there no gravity on the moon?

  • Since its space .

    there is no attraction to objects in another planets like our Earth ,

    if gravity existed , i think we already have had in moon a mall , i mean , why would you go one time to be the first *TO PUT A STEP ON THE MOON * and not go again ?

    Edvard0

  • what make you so sure there is only 1 planet earth is liveble?

  • Hey there is gravity on the moon, just not as much as here on earth so i kinda agree wuth you, it will be flying and jumping around up there :-)

  • because it's heavy and there is gravity on the moon, just less

    go take a physics class mate :)

  • Good video!

  • lets do moon racing. lets just use the moon as a sports area. nasa should build a huge racetrack that circumnavigates the whole moon and just race like special cars on it....that would be badass

  • hoostan? she meant Houston

  • pretty soon they will be having these things race on the moon while people pay big money to watch

  • lol i doubt they will be racing.. good idea tho.

  • Whats the 0-60 time?

  • Max speed is 20 Km/h

  • mm...I always thought that german engineery was better than the US engineery =/

  • A BMW may be better engineered than a Ford but thats about it. They have some awesome submarines though.

  • engineering*

    Being an engineering student in the US, I take what you said quite personally. Are you basing this assumption on our automotive engineering?

    You only have to turn to institutions like MIT, Cal Tech, Carnegie Mellon, and Stanford to know what an asinine comment you just made.

  • I believe both of you are wrong. The first moon landing(being how fake it looked) was probably staged so the US could say they were the first to land on the moon.

    But saying now that we've never been to the moon is just plain stupid.

  • Ataged - now I know your a little off kilter. Check your facts. I suppose the space station is staged as well?

  • No they actually went the odd irony was the technology existed to go to the moon in 1969 but not the technology to fake it.

    BTW they actually could have gotten to the moon before 1969 as early as 1966 if they used a lunar version of the Gemini spacecraft and the lightweight Langley lander.

    BTW a derivative of one of the COTS vehicles may well beat Orion to the moon this second time around.

  • "No they actually went the odd irony was the technology existed to go to the moon in 1969 but not the technology to fake it."

    As in videocamera, fake background, and space suit were "unavailable technologies" in 1969?

  • can you fuck it?

  • wtf is the point????

  • Just bomb this god damn world

  • How long folks before this pristine lunar wilderness turns into the urban sprawl of LA and New York with all these road making machines.

    We should be told before it is too late ? :-)

  • whouston? hoe ?

  • I hate the voice of the women. :l

  • Can't rebuild New Orleans or get decent healthcare, but th government will spend hundred of billions wanting to scrape away at a space rock...Niiiice

  • Stupid democrat, New Orleans is already being rebuilt, and this country is a country based on markets, if we change the health care people will throw a fit, if we copy what japan has, which limits the prices to every thing, people will say its taking away their rights, if we make all insurance companys non profit, like japan, they will say the same thing, do research before bitching about stuff...

  • ok let's not get into another big Youtube argument about capitalism vs. socialism vs. communism. Now.. Kiss and make up

  • HAHA stupid democrat lols

  • The government isn't your bitch. I really couldn't give a shit about people that can't afford health care.

    and FYI our space budget is at its lowest point since NASA's inception. Moron.

  • the wetawd said it has 6 wheels. looks like 12 to me but i dunno....

  • wetawd?

  • sound it out wetawd

  • Well, six sets of dual wheels, which each basically act like one wheel.

  • twelve is correct - but then i have not been drinking - hahaha

  • WTF u cant mine the moon ffs!! my god nasa are stupid u cant take away mass from the moon ur gona fuck up tides and sunrises/ sunsets, the moon is fine as it is leave it alone!

  • such a dumbass. Im not even gonna bother explaining why this comment is the dumbest thing ive ever read

  • I watched an interesting documentary a while ago that was about mining the moon for helium3 a chemical that is cleaner to burn and efficent. Kind of scary to think we could be digging up the moon soon to solve the power issue.

  • so thats where bush is going

  • hahaha she said HOOSTON!!!

  • she said woads and twenches lmao...

  • sounds like someone wanna invade the moon this time instead of those poor countries they dont like...

  • lol cereal's right. morph just recently came out of the jungle life. hats off to you for managing to get on youtube. when you say back then, how "back" are we talking about? 500 years back? even 500 years back people manage to sail across seas on their ships without "crashing." We've managed to build aircrafts like the X-15 that flies 6-7 times the speed of sound with a pilot, what makes you think we can't send people to the moon? you've got a lot to catchup to, caveman.

  • NASA's the most amazing organization on this planet. many of our daily life machineries were invented by people at NASA originally for space purposes.

  • so does this run on regular gas?

  • would a massive amount of weight on the moon throw it off orbit? like in that Time Machine movie

    just curious

  • I believe that the only thing that could change the orbit of the moon would be a huge impact or an object with a greater mass than the moon

  • Not going to work. The reduced gravity, plus the fine light powder for wheels to grip, it is not going to be able to push far.

    You are going to see it either spinning it's wheels, or scraping off just a tiny layer at a time.

    They need to not test it in regular Earth dirt. Try a field of baby powder, at least.

  • Good point, trying to get traction on the moon is probably hard as hell. Perhaps the added traction of having numerous wheels and perhaps some weight attachments could prove to work.

  • I'm sure you're a very intelligent person, but seeing how NASA has had some experience with the whole moon thing, I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing.

  • get the fuck off the moon.

    I don't wanna look up to the moon and see an american walking on it...

  • Is your vision that good?

  • Cry me a fucking river. I'm sorry your shitty country isn't as technologically advanced.

  • As if they expect the earth to blow up, already preparing life somewhere else. how sad.

  • Why do we need roads on the moon? What the hell are you planning?!

  • yah

  • 6x6 go anywhere vehicle

  • i like to see it in my pants

  • WHOSTEN?

  • lol where is the narrartor from? her voice sounds kinda funny lol hoooooston

  • to the moon and back

  • you said houston wrong

    hoooooooostunnn

    um no houston

    very uneventful movie

  • who cares about the fucking moon.

  • Wait, why do we need to bulldoze on the moon?

  • too many craters!! we need to smooth it out for massive development in the newly zoned luxury hotel. seriously though, helium 3 is a resource that is thought to be a valuable commodity that can be mined from the moon. For it to be worthwhile though, large amounts of regolith, (moon top soil) needs to be collected.

  • Where there is construction there is bulldozing. If you want to construct a permanent colony you need to be able to move some earth... erm, moon.

  • Good ol' Hooston, Texas

  • hooston?

  • Growing trees in space: Simple answer: No. Trees cant grow in space. Trees are adapted to Earth environment. DIRT is in EARTH DIRT: is by nature an organic compost. The soil of the moon for example: Is not. Long answer: future science can MAKE dirt, and genetically engineer plants suitable for alien environments. However: 'making' genetics is a infant science. We only pretend to know the consequences of doing it. The complexity of natural evolution is infintely greater. Easily make accidents

  • the fuck?

  • lol

  • i'd still rather have a segway

  • who cares fuel is to expensive..try walking..#### Hilary Duff like you NEVER seen her before on defSpot com

    She is definitely not Disney material anymore LOL

  • looks good, but the voice over is annoying. Learn to speak!

  • Who-ston, TX lol.

  • Jesus Christ.... so what now we want to screw up another planet.. lolz what is your problem!!!!! At least there arn't trees, yet until we plant them, and then cut them down, just so they can make themselves feel better. lol

  • trees cant grow in space, dumbass.

  • trees can grow on other planets...theres none in our particular solar system but it would be hard to believe that earth is the only planet with life

  • earth is in space

    earth has trees

    earth can grow in space

  • great, now man can tear up the moon. At least there are no trees to cut down.

  • ermmveryvery boring

  • nice video

  • Good vid. FYI- the first syllable of Houston is not pronounced 'WHO". The first syllable is pronounced like "Hugh" as in Hugh Heffner, or Hugh Grant.

    You have a great voice.

  • Why do we want to do that? Mine the moon. Have we become too bored with screwing this place up, now we have to mess with the moon too? The older I get the more convinced I am that our own technological arrogance and greed will be our end.

  • cost too much to Send an ordinary Ford to the Moon so they spend billions in development building this chariot....

  • cost too much to Send an ordinary Ford to the Moon so they spend billions in development building this chariot....

  • they shud send a fuck load of fords up there they jus waste our time in races ...[ford...=fucked on race day!]

  • This is all part of the go nowhere NASA program.

  • i dont think that will be able to go through a drive thru!

  • The US wants to drill for oil in the moon.

    Of course.

    Using our tax money for their own profit.

  • Oil comes from dead animals. I promise you there is no oil on the moon. Maybe they want the minerals that are up there though.

  • And plants. I forgot plants. Oil comes from dead animals and plants.

  • Aw, it was a joke.

  • whoston?

  • Please learn the correct pronunciation for Houston! It is Hewston not Houseton.

  • Is this where my tax money goes? who approves this dumb shit. is not like imma go to the moon.

  • Cool, let's do it!

  • NASA's FY 2008 budget of $17.3 billion represents about 0.6% of the $2.9 trillion United States federal budget. The Iraq War costs $474 billion approximately.

  • awesome!! Now we can start building a moon base before we venture out to mars....

  • My taxes are in this fucking machine

  • Big waste of taxpayer money! I think space research should use private funding only. We need to take care of earth before we work on junk like this!

  • Morph is such a doof. He read something on the internet somewhere and it must be true, although it is too complicated for him to explain it. Kind of like Morph saying something, anything, on the internet, and it must be true.

    Morph even probably claims that Bill Belichick knew nothing about videotaping an opponent's signals.

    What's next? Vista is better than XP?

  • Hey, if we can train morph654 to use the internet, then by golly we can put a man on the moon. Piece of cake.

    Anyway, if the moon landings were faked, why did we fake it nine times?

  • iraleecantellia there is no eco system on the noon duh

  • Hoostin? Where?

  • yeah cool and all but like all nasa/sapce products it will break within the first 5 minutes of it being on the surface

  • This thing is totally gonna destroy the ecosystem on the moon. Exploitative capitalists.

  • Who knows what happened to the ship that NASA sent into space in 2006 to explore pluto?

  • Who knows what happened to the ship that NASA sent into space in 2006 to explore pluto?

  • Hopefully the final, operational version will be alot smaller. Don't much care how advanced the new machines destined for the moon will be, limited space vis-a-vie weight and propulsion are always going to be huge factors in what is taken along.

  • They wanna put build a walmart, McDonalds and a Homedepot first

  • can i borrow that too plow my lawn?

    the moon , how bout 3rd world and suffering?

    If we all stopped treating ourselves like charriots and respected ourselves as spiritual entities im sure our technology would surpass todays current level. after all we would understand ourselves much better and therefore have better agendas like security and service to each other.

    too many guns and fear mongers, power control freaks are egomanias, lets make a new trend together.

    its good to be greater.

  • Anyone else think it was funny how the video cuts out on the word fail? :D

  • This thing is fucking amazing. Awesome. i wanna live to see dis happen on da moonzorx.

  • "Hoostan, Texas." <<lol.

  • "Build Roads On the Moon" roflmbo.. Shouldn't we worry more about living arrangements first? Leave it to the suits to do things backwards.

  • u know how there is less gravity on the moon...well if they try to add springs to drive on uneven ground wouldn't it go flying if the imapact in a crater was too deep

  • our hard earn money sure goes to good use huh???

  • yes it does, and i'm not being sarcastic

  • so far this thing isn't going anywhere, at 4500 pounds its currently to heavy to be sent to the moon. so good luck with all that

  • that website is getting facts from the book "A funny thing happened on the way to the moon" which is a book with TONS of fabricated facts. plus there were several camera on each mission. also not counted the photos taken by unman missions. there was a youtube video of all the facts they got wrong... but the vid got taken down, requested by the author of the book... haha looks like the conspiracy nut is the one that is covering up...

  • she said ho

  • her voice is annoying as hell, talking out of her nose

  • Hooston, Texas.

  • many "knowledgeable" people even published books and dvds about their founding only to be completely discredited after the slightest testing. I am not sure what their motives are weather its to get a few seconds of fame, like the guy who aggressively approach a 70 year old astronaut calling him a lier and a coward then punch in the face... or they really convince themself of their "findings" ether way... its very clear that their finding is completely explainable if not foolish..

  • what footage did you NOT see a horizon? the pitch black sky far away doesn't count? what? you are expecting to see blue sky and clouds?

  • your comment basically just slap itself in the face. 125 degree with no atmosphere means no air temperature, if you even take 2 seconds of your time to look up the suit you will know its not conventional AC but a liquid cooling system. please for crying out loud. instead of running your mouth on every moronic thought that run pass your brain and do some research.

  • hahaha you have no idea how heat works in space and you have no idea how thrust works in space. just because there is no wind doesn't mean there isn't any force from that thrust... explains the whole um.. "lift off" of the lander. plus I have yet to find a footage of Apollo 17 moving a flag. but just to further entertain myself with your science retardation I will look for it. you clearly have no knowledge of how anything works. if you are to convince me its a hoax... try harder.

  • do you know science is a repeatable test that have to go though peer review and independent studies? guess not? dumb ass learn something please. we going to have to rewrite allot of the text books if those were fake.. also the rocks brought back then are STILL being study today. it always come down to this when you weak ass conspiracy's can't say anything else. the government cover up everything.. guess I'm sent by NASA for damage control too?

  • the moral of the story? space physics are weird, and amateur scientists don't do enough research to get it.

  • hey dumb ass, you were the one that said the astronauts should say " omg its hot here" when they first land on the moon. only problem is that even tho the surface rocks at high noon can reach 207 degree, with no air there is NO air temperature. unless having direct contact with the surface there was NO way to feel it. with the white suit reflecting the sunlight and a liquid cooling system there is no way they feel the heat. unless they stood still wearing black for over 24 hours facing the sun.

  • you people take the few seconds when the flag is being deployed and grab on to it when its very clear what is causing it. the you also watch the hours of footage that the flag didn't move? what? they suck out all the air on stage AFTER they deploy the flag? pretty damn big stage considering they drove around on it.

  • I watch your favorite clips.... all of them just confirming my point. the waving flag made of a light material is slowly bring straighten by moon's light gravity. on Apollo 11 the cross pole got stuck and didn't fully deploy. and all the rest were movement cause by the Astronaut. if its so easy to fake a moon landing the Russian would have thought of it.

    and the landers returning clip and chemist will tell you that is how that fuel looks like in space.
