Desert Rats Wheels

The moon’s terrain and extreme temperatures will require future lunar rovers and robots to have a set of wheels unlike anything used by vehicles on the Earth. Vivake Asnani explains what makes the TWEEL (tire/wheel) concept a more suitable candidate than rubber, air-filled tires.

That’s relly awesum
hahaha she can’t stop saying assuum!!
lol yea she said that too many times
so the question of course is how much did that “twheel” cost?
side note to youtube: commenting limit fails or needs to be user-settable.
I wonder if China would like to buy these awesome tires?

Seriously though, must be one hell of a lifesty/e/job to be working on this kind of thing.
Hopefully, despite any future budget cuts, NASA can still at least continue to be at the leading edge of some tech’ development.
Seemed kinda awkward…
agree
I had the feeling she just goes through her list, adds an “awesome” or “excellent” here and there but doesn’t really care for the content. But the content is actually awesome. Videos like this show how many details have to be worked on to create a successful mission. Awesome!
i don’t understand, don’t we already have a rover on the moon? have aliens disassembled it and taken it to their mother ship? we’ve already invented the wheel for the moon, why must we re-invent this????????
I find her very hot. Makes it hard for me to concentrate on what they’re saying… but I don’t mind.
…and how much of taxpayer’s money did this cost?
i saw we drive em there
and this displays that people in LA are quite charming
So, if I pay an American soldier to fight a needless war, that’s okay. If I pay an attorney to start a frivolous lawsuit, that’s okay. If I pay some government worker to do some needless job, that’s okay. I don’t think any of that is okay. I want more bang for my dollar in tax money. I want something to show for all the hard work, like maybe a freeway or a park or something like that. Not some tire on a landing craft.
You people crack me up. Spend, spend, spend no matter what. Hey, guess what? This country is broke, the wars abroad are killing us, there is NO money, the printing presses are running 24/7 printing money out of thin air, etc. Everyone says cut somebody’s elses budget. This country has to quit spending money like drunken sailor, whether it’s NASA, The Dept of Defense, etc. It costs close to a million dollars to put one troop on the front line for one year. Now, go figure it out.
Shame those wheels wil not be on the Moon in 2020 !! :((
