Cleo, end of this year please do a 2026 recap on optimistic science and tech. You can even include tech that you didn’t have time to include in a video. So far, no big YouTuber has done that and I think you’re the best person to be doing this. Thanks!

It's crazy how the engineers are just acting like the shovel getting stuck that easily is normal despite one of the main tasks being collecting samples
@
That'll be a momentous day, when we finally return to the moon, that will be sureal!

I remember watching the first moon landing as a child and learning later that my father worked on the Apollo missions. When he was in his senior years you could imagine his reaction to the people who said it never happened. Miss you Dad...

The crossover we needed!

Interesting to see the types of things they had to take into account when designing this truck.

I'm giving it two years before one of Travis Pastrana's crew backflips this thing.

Who else is hyped for the new moonlanding?

We are the future. We are LIVING in the future. How do you choose to be remembered?

As someone who drives mining vehicles in dusty earth environments, a couple of criticisms. The hinges and draw runners are going to get clogged up with dust. It needs rollover protection on the roof. If it rolls onto a rock the passengers will be crushed.
@
No info on the truck itself? Some specs, tech it's using, batteries, range, charging/refueling, etc...

"Going back to the moon for the first time in 50 years." 🌕🌘🌑

Can't think of a more exciting time to be alive as an astronaut! 👨🚀🚀

The metal wheels around 3:20 are way more interesting that it seems here. They're nickel titanium alloy that can withstand a lot of deformation without losing its form. Veritasium has a video about it from a few years ago - also you can get them as bike tires that I truly want but they're quite expensive.

Omg! I literally just watched Michelle in the first video I've ever watched her in where she freaking rode on the side of a C-130 from the mission. Impossible stunt. Absolutely incredible team and stunt woman!

Can't wait to watch this video! I love you! Cleo

21:20 "Scooper Bowl" was right there for the taking.
@
The fact that we're sending a truck to the moon for the first time ever and the first people to get to drive it are Cleo and Michelle... This is why youtube is dominating.

I was literally going to comment that Cleo could be an astronaut training candidate. Then the shovel happened. 😂😂😂
@
A Michelle and Cleo collab?? Never saw it coming but definitely a welcome surprise ♥

I'm really starting to think that these videos are a not-so-subtle bid for NASA to give her professional astronaut training!
