Talking to the Moon
I know you’re somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back
I want you back
My neighbours think
I’m crazy
But they don’t understand
You’re all I have
You’re all I have
At night when the stars
Light on my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon
Try to get to You
In hopes your on
The other side
Talking to me too
Oh am I a fool
Who sits alone
Talking to the moon
I’m feeling like I’m famous
The talk of the town
They say
I’ve gone mad
Yeah
I’ve gone mad
But they don’t know
What I know
Cause when the
Sun goes down
Someone’s talking back
Yeah
They’re talking back
At night when the stars
Light on my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon
Try to get to You
In hopes your on
The other side
Talking to me too
Oh Am I a fool
Who sits alone
Talking to the moon
Do you ever hear me calling?
Cause every night
I’m talking to the moon
Still trying to get to you
In hopes you’re on
The other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
Who sits alone
Talking to the moon
I know you’re somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
Говорю с Луной
Я знаю, ты где-то там,
где-то очень далеко.
Я хочу вернуть тебя,
Хочу вернуть тебя.
Мои соседи думают,
Что я сошел с ума.
Но они не понимают,
Ты — все, что у меня есть,
Ты — все, что у меня есть.
По ночам, когда звезды
Освещают мою комнату.
Я сижу в одиночестве
И говорю с Луной.
Пытаюсь докричаться до тебя,
В надежде, что ты — там,
На другой стороне,
Говоришь со мной тоже.
Ох, да я просто дурак,
Который сидит один
И разговаривает с Луной.
Чувствую, что я прославился на весь город,
Раз все судачат обо мне.
Говорят,
Что я сошел с ума,
Да
Я потерял рассудок,
Но они же не знают,
То, что знаю я,
Ведь когда
Садится солнце,
Кто-то отвечает мне,
Да
Мне отвечают.
По ночам, когда звезды
Освещают мою комнату.
Я сижу в одиночестве
И говорю с Луной.
Пытаюсь докричаться до тебя,
В надежде, что ты — там,
На другой стороне,
Говоришь со мной тоже.
Ох, да я просто дурак,
Который сидит один
И разговаривает с Луной.
Ты слышишь как я зову тебя?
Потому что каждую ночь,
Я говорю с Луной,
Все ещё пытаясь докричаться до тебя
В надежде, что ты — там,
На другой стороне,
Говоришь со мной тоже.
Ох, да я просто дурак,
Который сидит один
И разговаривает с Луной.

Driving on the Moon: The 40-Year Legacy of NASA’s First Lunar Car
By Denise Chow 29 July 2011
When NASA’s Apollo 15 astronauts David Scott and James Irwin touched down on the moon 40 years ago, they had an extra special tool packed away on their lunar lander: a dune buggy-size rover that enabled them to become the first humans to drive on the surface of a world beyond Earth.
Rover technology has made great strides since Scott and Irwin landed on the moon on July 30, 1971, but the lessons learned from NASA’s first Lunar Roving Vehicles (LRVs) are still applicable today. While technology has evolved since the Apollo era, NASA’s first rovers are influencing manned and robotic vehicles for exploration on Mars and beyond.
«The LRV on Apollo fulfilled a very important need, which was to be able to cover large traverses, carry more samples, and get more scientific exploration done,» Mike Neufeld, a curator in the space history division at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. told SPACE.com. «It was a really important part of why Apollo 15, 16 and 17 were so much more scientifically advanced and productive.» [Photos: The Evolution of NASA’s Moon Cars]
Driving on the moon
Apollo 15 was the fourth mission to land men on the moon, and it was the first of three missions to use the LRVs. The rover had a mass of about 460 pounds (208 kilograms) and was designed to fold up so it could fit inside a compartment of the Lunar Module.
«It was a very elegant little vehicle,» Neufeld said. «It had to be lightweight and had to be folded up in a very compact space. They were very successful – there were no major failures – so clearly it was a successful design.» [Video: NASA’s 21st Century Moon Ride]
And they drove relatively well, Neufeld said, given the rocky terrain on the moon. The rovers could reach a top speed of about 8 mph (about 13 kph), but the moon’s cratered surface prevented the astronauts from driving too fast.
«They weren’t driving on flat land – it was more like a dirt buggy than anything else,» he explained. «It didn’t travel that fast, but for the astronauts who drove it, it seemed like it was exciting and fast. It was a pretty bouncy ride. Even flat looking terrain on the moon is not very flat because there are so many crater pits, so it would have been a fairly exciting ride.»
The lunar rovers also injected a new level of public enthusiasm for the Apollo program.
«Overall public interest had declined after Apollo 11,» Neufeld said. «The public was becoming more and more blasé. Apollo 15 provided a blip upwards in public interest. Part of it was because the landing site was so much more attractive, and there were also more television broadcasts from the moon. But, the rovers were definitely a part of that. The public took a lot of interest in this new capability that the astronauts had.»
The LRVs allowed the Apollo astronauts to explore beyond their landing site, but there were definite limitations, such as the non-rechargeable battery life of the rovers. As a safety precaution, the vehicles were also constrained to a distance that, if the rover broke down, the astronauts would have enough resources in their life support systems to walk back to the Lunar Module.
On the Apollo 15 mission, the LRV was driven a total of about 17 miles (27 km), which amounted to 3 hours and 2 minutes of driving time, according to NASA officials.
Moon rover legacy
In the decades since the end of the Apollo program, engineers have looked to the LRVs for cues on how to develop current and future manned and robotic rovers. [Coolest Vehicles You’ll Never Get to Ride]
At NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., engineers collaborated with Apollo-era designers to develop the vehicles for the Mars Pathfinder project. Even though past and current Mars rovers were designed to be robotic, studying the first manned lunar vehicles proved invaluable, said Kobie Boykins, an engineer in JPL’s spacecraft mechanical and engineering division.
«There was a lot of information that we learned,» Boykins told SPACE.com. «We watched videos and saw how the NASA astronauts drove around on the rover. All the basic physics of how we interact with the soil stays the same even without having a human being in the rover. It helped us understand our capabilities and our limits. We needed to then figure out how to drive over rocks and drive on steeper inclines, but it’s all applicable.»
Boykins and his team worked on the twin Spirit and Opportunity rovers, which landed on Mars in January 2004 and have greatly outlasted their planned three-month lifespan. Spirit, which got stuck in sand, was declared dead by its operators earlier this year, but Opportunity is still driving steadily on the surface of the Red Planet.
In addition to being robotic, the Mars rovers differed from the Lunar Roving Vehicles because they drove at a much slower pace – about 2 inches per second (5cm/s).
«It’s about the land speed of a Galapagos turtle,» Boykins said. «There were a lot of design ideas that came from the Apollo days, but the lunar rovers were orders of magnitude faster.»
Future space car tech
Boykins is also working on NASA’s newest Mars rover, a car-sized robotic explorer named Curiosity, which is scheduled to launch into space in late November. But NASA teams are also involved in developing other rovers, ones that could eventually be driven by humans once again on the surface of the moon or Mars.
The Space Exploration Vehicle (SEV) looks like a luxury RV compared to the more primitive-looking lunar rovers, but the Apollo program definitely put its stamp on this next generation vehicle, said Lucien Junkin, an engineer with the SEV project at NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
The SEV engineers worked closely with Harrison Schmitt to design and test the new vehicle, which features an enclosed, pressurized cabin, 12 wheels and mounted spacesuits on the back. Schmitt, a former NASA astronaut, drove one of the original lunar rovers during the Apollo 17 mission, the final flight that rounded out the Apollo space program.
«We wanted to take all the lessons learned from the Apollo and Mars rovers and combine all that together, but also challenge conventional wisdom,» Junkin told SPACE.com. «With the SEV, we built what we call a feature-rich vehicle, so things like cargo, space and other creature comforts. We wanted to keep it simple but move it forward.»
The SEV is designed to comfortably carry a two-astronaut crew on multiple day excursions. The vehicle was originally designed as part of the now-canceled Constellation program that was going to return astronauts to the moon. The engineering team is now designing and testing the vehicle to be compatible with future missions that could require rovers either on the moon or Mars, Junkin said.
«We have to stay away from the policy and keep our nose to the grindstone,» he said. «We want to keep developing a rover that is in America’s garage, so when it’s time for us to go to another heavenly body or another planet, America will be ready with a vehicle.»

Toyota Reveals ‘Self-Driving Electric Moon Car’ As Japan Prepares To Land Astronauts On The Moon
Toyota’s proposed lunar rover will be self-driving and use zero-emission electric fuel cell . [+] technology.
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency & Toyota Motor Corporation
Japan is planning a moon landing for 2029 and wants its astronauts to explore the lunar surface in a vehicle built by Japanese automaker Toyota.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Toyota announced Tuesday that it will collaborate on international space exploration, specifically on developing a manned, pressurized rover that uses Toyota’s fuel cell vehicle (FCV) technologies.
Toyota’s concept for a lunar rover will travel 10,000km.
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency & Toyota Motor Corporation
“Manned, pressurized rovers will be an important element supporting human lunar exploration, which we envision will take place in the 2030s, » said Koichi Wakata, JAXA Vice President. «We aim at launching such a rover into space in 2029.»
JAXA, which earlier this month landed its Hayabusa2 probe on the asteroid Ryugu, is hoping the collaboration with Toyota will «give rise to intellectual properties» needed for international space exploration.
The lunar rover will also have solar panels, which will be useful in lunar daylight, which lasts for . [+] two weeks in each month.
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency & Toyota Motor Corporation
An FCV is a type of electric vehicle that, instead of using a battery, uses a fuel cell of oxygen and compressed hydrogen, which react with each other to generate electricity. The zero-emissions technology is already used on Toyota’s Mirai vehicle. “Fuel cells, which use clean power-generation methods, emit only water, and, because of their high energy density, they can provide a lot of energy, making them especially ideal for the project being discussed with JAXA,» said Shigeki Terashi, Executive Vice President at Toyota. He also mentioned that Toyota’s automated driving technologies were part of the project.
Although the amount of fuel that could be taken to the moon would be limited, said JAXA and Toyota, the pressurized rover would have a total lunar-surface cruising range of more than 10,000 km.
However, Toyota’s ‘space mobility’ concept for the pressurized rover being studied by JAXA and Toyota is pretty small. It envisions a 6 meter by 5.3-meter vehicle standing 3.8 meters tall. That’s enough room for two people, say JAXA and Toyota, or four in an emergency. Toyota and JAXA also revealed that they have been jointly studying the concept of a manned, pressurized rover since May 2018.
The moon presents some special challenges for any vehicle. Gravity is one-sixth of Earth’s, and the lunar surface is pocked by craters, cliffs, and hills. «It is exposed to radiation and temperature conditions that are much harsher than those on Earth, as well as an ultra-high vacuum environment,» said Wakata. «For a wide-ranging human exploration of the moon, a pressurized rover that can travel more than 10,000 km in such environments is a necessity.» Wakata also stressed the need for a ‘Team Japan’ approach to space exploration.
ispace’s HAKUTO-R mission will launch on a SpaceX rocket in 2020 to orbit the moon and be followed . [+] by a mission to land on the surface in 2021.
That’s a message that appears to be finding favor. Japan Airlines-backed startup ispace last month announced that its HAKUTO-R mission will orbit the moon in 2020 ahead of a mission to land on the surface in 2021. An finalist in the ill-fated Google Lunar XPRIZE, ispace plans to map, and eventually recover, water ice on the moon and learn how to use it as a resource. If it can separate lunar water into hydrogen and oxygen, it could provide fuel for Toyota’s moon buggy, as well as for a self-sufficient moonbase, and even rockets.
Aside from Japan Airlines, HAKUTO-R’s corporate partners include Japanese national daily newspaper Asahi Shimbun and Japan NGK Spark Plug, which wants to test solid-state battery technology on the moon in 2021. Another is Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance, which last month announced a new lunar insurance service. “The availability of lunar exploration insurance will encourage new players to participate in the lunar industry by reducing the risk of entry,” said ispace founder Takeshi Hakamada last month. “With the ability to insure our landers and rovers, ispace and its customers will be able to concentrate on realizing our vision without hesitation.»
