NASA had to do a little cosmic DIY and reinvent the wheel – but not just for kicks. Turns out, traditional wheels don't cut it on the rough and rocky surface of Mars. So, NASA rolled up its sleeves and created these crazy-looking, springy contraptions called "tensegrity" wheels. They're like the Swiss army knives of space rovers, flexing and adapting to Mars' tricky terrain. It's like interplanetary off-roading at its finest! So, next time you're stuck with a flat tire on Earth, just think, at least it's not on Mars. 🚀🔧🪙 #brightside Credit: Freeze-dried bacon bars: The Failed Photographer, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Freeze-dried_bacon_bars.jpg WeHaSaulFan / Reddit gfeep / Reddit PraxisLD / Reddit jgarmer / Reddit ISO50 / Twitter NASA NASA/Buzz Aldrin Animation is created by Bright Side. —————————————————————————————- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru —————————————————————————————- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me
