Towards the end of EVA-1, John Young drove the Lunar
Rover solo, with Charlie Duke filming his drive to and from the direction of
the LM for engineers at Boeing, so they could have documentation of how the
Rover actually performed on the lunar surface. This movie is one of my all time
favorites from Apollo, and shows how much the Rover drove like “A combination of a bucking bronco, and a
rowboat in a rough sea”, according to Dave Scott of Apollo 15, the first
Rover driver. 4-wheeling - On the Moon!
