Astronauts used duct tape to make an emergency repair of the fender of Apollo 17's moonbuggy. The repair occurred on December 11, 1972, on the Taurus-Littrow valley of the moon.

  • @Blahblobify I hear you man, I hear you. If you don't spend time explaining 1+1=2 the freaks come out of the woodwork claiming 1+1=3, and they attract followers who believe 'em & then they multiply. Sad fact of life...

  • @FantasticBob7000

    LOL OK yeah sorry I've had it happen to me too, apology etc extended.

    Gid I hat the moon hoax fuck shits

  • @Blahblobify Dude you're talking to the wrong guy I'm no hoax nut. I think you meant to reply to Synthetrix.

  • @THREESIXNINE100 Hey you forgot about the shadows. And the waving flag. And the rest of the brilliant observations you made asses of yourselves with.

  • The duct tape only held for a short time and a more secure repair was later made.

  • Something about duct tape ... if the temperature is too hot or too coal it will not hold little thing like this just prove the moon landing was all a hoax...

  • 1st, it's wrong to assume that everything on the day side of the moon is 107C. All EVAs took place at lunar morning. TEMPERATURE MODERATED WITH MOVEMENT. 2nd, nothing on an LRV was constantly exposed to direct solar radiation (remember, there's no air, so radiation is the only way for heat to be exchanged). 3rd, the fender fix was TEMPORARY and also used clamps. 4th, 3M has created many forms of duct tape, including high temperature grades. Ex: Kapton polymide PST can handle 260C for an hour.

  • actually the NASA rule was unless it was ten year old technology proven to work i wasn't going to fly on apollo for safety reasons so shut your ugly dumb fucking stupid mouth forever.

  • @datzfast u r a dumb ass where do u think we have gotten half of our tech shit, most started with nasa experiment...ect, so shut u face stupid !
