Speedy Cernan

The unofficial lunar speed record is held by Gene Cernan who recorded a speed of 11.2mph (18km/hr) driving one of the three lunar rovers used on the moon during Apollo 17( our final visit to luna). The reason the speed is credited as unofficial is that A.no-one other than Cernan and is companion Harrison Schmitt can verify the speed they achieved and B. The lunar rovers top speed was supposed to be only 8mph, so technically they were speeding!
