I like the clear mechanical features of early space exploration. When the future still involves rivets. The Operation Manual of Lunar Rover lists the examples of this period and describes in detail the work and operation of vehicles used to roam on the surface of the moon. When the absolutely incredible behavior of driving a car or vehicle on the rock surface of an outer planet orbiting the earth is described as a series of key points for changing batteries or handbrakes, the noble behavior is close to daily life through the flow chart.

For example, Velcro seems to have played an important role in the operation and deployment of LRV. Velcro。 I know velcro is a kind of material in the space age, because it once seemed likely to replace shoelaces, but the application of fixing things together in space on the moon makes the exploration of outer planets incredible.

"The astronauts formed a loop by placing the cable on the console velcro, and after covering the cable, they pressed the velcro tape on themselves."

The idea that astronauts may carry luggage with them is also common. But where shall I put my things? You can put your bag here. Under the seat. Don't worry, it has "ribs", so your things won't be crushed. Cool, thanks. Over.

Of course, this is an operation manual, not a construction document, but I find symbols such as "spring" and "bag stiffener" very boring in this case. Like velcro, the spring is something behind the handicraft drawer, not the moon.

Finally, the parking rules on the moon have different standards from here. As we learned in Section 5.2, the sun plays an important role in the direction of parking vehicles.

"5.2 Parking restrictions

For proper thermal control of the LRV and the loaded payload during EVA parking, the LRV must be oriented according to Figure 5-2. Parking the LRV outside these limits will cause the display and control components to overheat or the LCRU to overheat. During the EVA period, there is no direction restriction for short-term parking. "
