NASA's Great Moonbuggy Race takes place this week

By at 11:43 am Thursday, Apr 6

NASA's "Great Moonbuggy Race" is held every year at the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama -- and this year's edition takes place tomorrow and Saturday, April 7th and 8th. The event is an opportunity for high school and college students to design, build and race a moonbuggy on a simulated lunar course. Vehicles must be human-powered by one female student and one male student. NASA was planning to cancel the program, but an eleventh-hour grant from Northrop Grumman kept it alive.
