Abstract The Apollo astronauts made it look so easy. The “lunar lope” and the riding around on their rovers seemed so effortless. It is difficult for those not involved in the actual day-to-day activities making up the planning and execution of such a complex undertaking to imagine the grueling effort by thousands that preceded the accomplishments of those lunar explorers. The film footage of the lunar astronauts shows only a few mishaps and falls as the Apollo extravehicular activity (EVA) crewmembers learned how to walk and maneuver on the Moon. The story of how the Apollo EVA system came into being had many more difficulties and stumbling blocks.
