How Duct Tape Saved Apollo 17's Moon Buggy

Ant points out a story spotted on Boing Boing in which NASA "shares a story that turns back the clock 36 years to reveal the "key roll of duct tape in the Apollo program." The quality of the photographs from the moon always grabs me, and the duct-taped fender here is no exception.

To the extent that this story might be true, your dad is an asshole who enjoys wasting my tax dollars and fucking around with irrelevant red tape than actually doing useful work.

Obviously whoever was using the duct tape, being finished with it, took care of it when they were done with their work.

How much of my tax dollars did your dad convert into useful work for my benefit while some other guy was cleaning up after himself?
