What great event. I would love to be there in person to check out the unique designs people have come up with. I would also like a fast ride on one of these.

Nick,

How interesting.  I did not know anything about this.  We've been to the space center and I actually sat on THE Moonbuggy before I read the sign that said do not sit on it.  

I would love to attend this event next year and may very well.

:)

Debbie-it's worth a trip here to Huntsville just to see what's going on.  NASA is such a huge player here.  I think lots of people would like a fast ride on a moon buggy, but I'd have to say there's next to no chance of that.

Judi-I should have been working, but I got hooked watching the live video.  I went last year an got up close and personal with the entrants and their moonbuggies...very cool.

Hi Nick, enjoyed the video and would love to attend the next moonbuggy race!  Seems all participants enjoyed this exciting experience and it is good to see the teamwork and imagination of different buggys.

George-not at all, but I do want to remind you that your subscription is past due!

Gabe-I think you can still watch a re-run of it...but be warned, I did get hooked on it...probably because I knew people on the video.

Al & Peggy-yes, Canada was represented...not sure where they placed, but good to see a reminder of my friends north of the border!

Rebecca-yep, future engineers and people who will eventually support our space program hard at work, play and working together.

Steve-yes, women ARE great and there were several women involved in the race...women can be nerds too!

Joan-it did rain, but that didn't stop the race.
