How tricky is it to ride something like that? Apart from the fact your head is at car bumper height..Do you have a photo of anyone riding that?
This image of the moon was taken from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and shows the landing site of Apollo 11. You are looking at 43 year old human footprints.

This image of the Apollo 11 landing site captured from just 24 km (15 miles) above the surface provides LRO's best look yet at humanity's first venture to another world. When Neil Armstrong took his famous first steps onto the lunar surface, he kicked around the soil. "Yes, the surface is fine and powdery." Gazing at the flat horizon, he took in the view. "Isn't that something! Magnificent sight out here." After collecting a contingency sample Neil looked around and observed, "it has a stark beauty all its own. It's like much of the high desert of the United States. It's different, but it's very pretty out here." A few minutes later Buzz Aldrin descended the ladder and joined Neil on the surface of the Moon!
You can see the remnants of their first steps as dark regions around the Lunar Module (LM) and in dark tracks that lead to the scientific experiments the astronauts set up on the surface. The Passive Seismic Experiment Package (PSEP) provided the first lunar seismic data, returning data for three weeks after the astronauts left, and the Laser Ranging RetroReflector (LRRR) allows precise measurements to be collected to this day. You can even spot the discarded cover of the LRRR.

This is pretty Awesome:
Sorry......
Why would you even bother to post a robot on this thread which is dedicated to VEHICLES, not some fake thingy from the internet? ShhhSorry......
I've said that because I hate Awesome. Three PPCs? Takes ages to cool down

You just reminded me of this
I saw this happen! Farnborough air show! The first guy who landed, calmly unhooked himself from his Shute, and lit a cigarette immediately! Edit* just read up on Wikipedia! no mention of that crash, closest ones are 1990 and 1999, pretty sure the one I saw were Russians. Going to have to consult father when I see him!

I thought that collision occurred at RIAT at RAF Fairford in 1993.
Mig-29 crash at RIAT RAF Fairford 1993
