Re: Apollo 16
The DVD numbr 3 shows a 20 minutes mute sequence of the traverse to Station 4 (eva2 to Cinco crater on Stone Mountain). It's a 16mm sequence, adjusted to approximately real time.
It sure looks like they are bouncing all the time
It was even harder for the A14 crew to pull the MET, which had inflatable wheels.
The LRV wheels are better, but there's no easy way to prevent bouncing on one sixth of a G.
Another solution: a rocket vehicle...But imagine one rocket shuts off while the vehicle is more than 20 feet off the ground; no air, no drag...certain death.
