How did they inflate the moon buggy's tyres? Wouldn't they have burst in a vacuum?
There are some serious problems with using normal tyres on the moon. Most significant would be the danger of them exploding because of the lack of any air pressure on the outside. NASA realised these problems, consequently it didn't have tyres at all. The wheels were made of a wire mesh supported on spokes.
