When Apollo 11 landed on the moon they indeed stepped where no man has gone before. But once they got there, they didn’t go far. This week on the Best of Our Knowledge, we’ll learn about the development of the lunar rover, and how that opened up the later Apollo missions with lunar road trips.
Watch a great video of the Apollo 15 astronauts driving on the moon HERE.

We’ll also spend an Academic Minute doing business in space.
