1969 Electric Dune Buggies? Out of This World!

Electric vehicles are suppose to be a recent thing right? Not really. In 1972 the Apollo 16 moon rover traveled around the moon. Recently the NASA agency released some new video restored in  High Definition for the public to watch. Here is the link to the released You Tube video from NASA: Moon rover action!

Boeing and General Motors teamed up to make 4 of these Lunar rovers to be used on the Apollo 15, 16 and 17 missions. There was a great amount of tax dollars spent to research and construct these vehicles. How could this technology not have been used earlier for the consumers on earth? Link to Moon Buggy NASA Historical document
