Just showed this picture and then the Abbot & Costello routine to my wife. She is originally from Russia and did not get it at all.
Even after trying to explain it, she did not know who, what or why. Not to mention I don't know (third base).

Exasperating that she could not recognize the humor, but kinda cute, nonetheless.

And I'm old enough to recognize that console becauseI had a Z28 just like this.

Due to the extremely delicate structure of the Lunar Roving Vehicle, Apollo crews were warned to drive the LRV with great caution. Strict speed limits were placed on the 1 horsepower vehicle at an absolute maximum of 8mph to ensure the maintenance of proper safety during lunar surface excursions. Almost 250 thousand miles from the nearest tow truck or medical facility, astronauts had to exercise extreme caution.

During the Apollo 17 mission, after unloading the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) from the Lunar Module, Commander Gene Cernan accidentally knocked off the right-rear fender extension. This seemingly small incident had a significant impact, as without the fender, the wheel kicked up fine lunar dust that covered the rover and its astronauts, creating visibility and equipment issues.
Cernan initially tried to fix the fender using tape, but it fell off again. Ground control technicians on Earth suggested an innovative solution: taping together plastic-coated lunar map sheets to form a makeshift replacement fender extension. Cernan and Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt followed this advice, creating a functional replacement that helped control the dust for the remainder of the mission.
This creative fix demonstrated the crew's resourcefulness and highlighted the importance of even the smallest pieces of equipment during lunar exploration.

Do you have power yet? Because that looks great, unless you're still without power, which would make that look like a PITA.
