Across the airless wilds : the Lunar Rover and the triumph of the final moon landings / Earl Swift. by Swift, Earl, 1958- Custom House, 2021. Call #: 629.454 S977a Subjects Project Apollo (U.S.)   Lunar surface vehicles -- United States -- History -- 20th century.   Space flight to the moon. ISBN:  9780062986535 (hc.) Alternate title:  Lunar Rover and the triumph of the final moon landings Edition:  1st ed. Description:  372 p., 16 unnumbered pages : col. ill.; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  December 12, 1972. Apollo 17 astronauts Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt had flown nearly a quarter-million miles to the man in the moon's left eye, landed, and then driven five miles in to a desolate, boulder-strewn landscape. As they gathered samples, they strode at the outermost edge of mankind's travels. A few feet away sat the machine that made the achievement possible: an electric go-cart that folded like a business letter, weighed less than eighty pounds in the moon's reduced gravity, and muscled its way up mountains, around craters, and over undulating plains on America's last three ventures to the lunar surface. Swift puts reader s alongside the men who dreamed of driving on the moon and designed and built the vehicle, troubleshot its flaws, and drove it on the moon's surface. -- adapted from jacket.
