The Electric Motorbike That Almost Went to the Moon

The NASA History Office tweets out these photos of an electric-powered motorbike that was almost sent with Apollo astronauts as an easy means of traveling across the surface of the moon. Although NASA ultimately went with the rover, it built a prototype scooter. Above, astronaut and motorcyclist Pete Conrad tests it on the KC-135 Vomit Comet.
