NBC News reports about retired Apollo veteran Rutledge Alexander "Putty" Mills, who worked as chief of vehicles for Manned Lunar Expedition Studies in the Apollo program, and and his work to now restore a lunar rover test vehicle at his home in Santa Ynez, California. At the end of the Apollo program, Mills found the shell of a rover model headed for the dump at Flagstaff, Arizona, and got permission from the city manager to salvage it along with some spare parts. Since then he's rebuilt the rover as a home project. When it's finished, Mills hopes to donate it to a museum.  |
