NASA Testing Lunar Rovers In Moses Lake, WA

Posted by timothy on from the bring-me-my-chariot dept.

deadaluspark writes "I work at a local news station, and found out NASA was testing their lunar rovers in a nearby city. I pulled some strings and got our news director to send out one of our reporters. I would link to the original video on the KVEW website, but the video is screwing up on the badly designed, WMP only website. So I uploaded the package to youtube for everyone on Slashdot to enjoy. Very cool video of NASA toys in action." Don't believe anyone who says it always rains in Washington.

    You should have seen the rovers during spring break.

    I think NASA went over board with the number of probes installed on the rover.

      That was a joke son.. pulling your leg. Maybe this will work for you: "he he, he said probe."

    it is absolutely not eastern washington Sorry, but if it's east of the Cascades, then it's "Eastern Washington" (at least to those of us on the wet side of the state). ;-)

    Anyways, pretty cool to see where I grew up getting into the news. Well, the last time my home town (Mount Vernon, WA) was in the national news was because some whack-job took off all his clothes, ran out onto the freeway, and climbed up onto a semi-truck that had stopped because of him. This is decidedly cooler than that.

    I would link to the original video on the KVEW website [CC], but the video is screwing up on the badly designed, WMP only website.
    So, what are your plans after you get fired?
