Special thanks goes to the family of Eduardo San Juan, (aka The Space Junkman) who worked on the team that invented the Lunar Rover or Moon Buggy. Eduardo San Juan is considered the primary designer of the Lunar Rover. Elisabeth, I'm taking advantage of your email and adding the facts you have sent me about your father to his profile.

Hey I didn a project on your inventor
In your online info concerning inventors of the internal combustion engine, there is no mention of the real inventors of the engine. These happen to be two Italians by the name of Father Eugenio Barsanti and Felice Matteucci. Please do some research and update your website info. Thank you. James
I received the same email from San Juan’s daughter, and being something of a spaceflight history buff, found several glaring factual errors in the story her father passed down to her. After writing about it on my site, I received an email from an actual lunar rover engineer who worked on the GM/Delco aspect of the rover contract with NASA MSFC. Read about it here:
