Need a little spring in your step? Well NASA and the Goodyear tire and rubber company have teamed up to bring you the very latest in lunar rover necessities. Spring Tires.


[..YouTube..] Nice minute, guys. Great work Cariann! You’re making some aspects of nasa TV like a sleeping competition. Looks and sounds quite natural.

[..YouTube..] Agreed. She’s getting the hang of it.

[..YouTube..] I knew that this is how they made moon tires, but I didn’t know that they might be useful on Earth too. That would be really cool.

[..YouTube..] This is not the original moon tire, they were made with piano wire.
This is a perfect little article, Please make more!

Sadly, all of the close ups that Ben put in the video don’t show the new tires. This one is not too bad: http://images.spaceref.com/news/2009/ooTHE-GOODYEAR-TIRE-RUBBER-.jpg

Updated the thumbs to reflect the proper tire.
Much better! Thank you Benny!!
[..YouTube..] Heh moar liek ur MOM … uh … is also .. likes metal tire.
OOOOOOOOOH SNAP!
I apologize for my crassness, but I’ve been sitting on that primo metal tire yo mama joke for 9 years now. Honestly. If I didn’t drop it now, what are the chances I’d ever find another occasion to fire it off?

Cariann, awesome job, awesome minute. Lots of great info in such a short time. Great teaser that made me want to do more research. Thanks for the additional info link, too.
Thank you Uncle!
I’m glad I picked something of interest. It’s one of those things that doesn’t get many headlines, but I found entertaining.
Ben and Cariann,
Very interesting subject matter. Great job of production and execution. Maybe you guys have a future producing this kind of video. Cariann, you definitely have what it takes to be a science correspondent. Assuming Ben did the technical stuff, then you both make a great team!
Thank you Rick!
As I do it more, it becomes more comfortable. Hopefully I will stop blinking so much!
Ben does do a great job of making me look good, and I have to think him for that.
And…. I think we are hoping to do these kinds of videos for other people too. Once we get the hang of it here.
Nice job Cariann!!
