Because nasa doesnt want to show interior of that rover

they are not, you can see the back seats when he leans aside to complain about his seat. it looks like that because the only lights are from the windows, theres no hair light so theres no background separation.

Terncote Your research was not in vain. You are correct about the Parker Brothers, Shanon & Marc, building the Rover. I can assure you KSC did not come close to spending a million dollars on it, however, including the research involved. Is it worth it? Absolutely, but it was actually built for a very modest profit for the opportunity to be part of such an amazing project with NASA & KSC.

While that might seem economical, we certainly can't risk accidental damage to any of those sensitive instruments critical to its mission. I think this is a great opportunity to see exactly what the limits of the new X-37 really are by tasking one as Trump's "chariot to the sun". They're remotely piloted, so no need for him to have to learn flight skills.

Joe Josa you have way too many opinions for someone who has zero knowledge in military, astronomy and film making. That's why we don't rely on you to invent the technology we use on a daily basis, we let professionals do it. It's amazing you will take advantage of it, though.

As a 5-year college dropout after 1.5 years in, but a vociferous and relentless seeker of knowledge, can you please elaborate on Feynman? Thank you in advance

No matter what, Einstein will always be relative

[@feurigerStern]

Muzikray213. Richard Feynman is an American theoretical physicist who is well know for his work in Quantum Physics. He was a great lecturer and was also well known for his ability to explain physics that a layperson could understand. I strongly recommend his autobiography, "Surely, You're Joking Mr. Feynman" A genius with an incredible sense of humor. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman
