During the Apollo 16 mission in April 1972 the crew were tasked with putting the Lunar Roving Vehicle through a series of tests to asses its capabilities. Commander John Young drove the electrically powered rover through a series of maneuvers—including S-turns, hairpin turns, hard stops, and acceleration to "high" speeds of roughly 6–11 mph (10–18 km/h)—while Charles Duke (lunar module pilot) filmed it with a 16 mm camera from a safe distance. This video has been upscaled in quality, interpolated to 60FPS, stabilised and synced with mission audio by Moonpans Original Source Footage: Apollo Flight Journal #nasa #spacex #apollo16 #artemis
