Cernan also had reason to be embarrassed. With one swing of his geological hammer, he accidentally clobbered the $13,000,000 moon car, knocking off part of one of its rear fiberglass fenders, which act as shields against the spray of dust churned up by the rover's wire mesh wheels. Cernan tried to reattach the section of fender with gaffer tape. But because of the everpresent, clinging fine-grained lunar dust, it would not stick. As precious minutes ticked away.

Alien green fiberglass covers the roof trusses. The concrete has been poured in super-human blocks twelve feet on a side. It's even impossible to view the entire building from any one points...
