Eduardo San Juan - On a Personal Note: Elisabeth San Juan, the proud daughter of Eduardo San Juan, has the following to say about his father.

When my Father submitted the conceptual design for the Lunar rover he submitted it by Brown Engineering, a company owning the Lady Bird Johnson.

During the final tests showing select one from a variety of design submissions, his was the only one that worked. Therefore, his design won the NASA Contract.

His overall concept and design of Articulated Wheel System is considered brilliant. Each extra wheel mounted is not under the vehicle, but situated outside the body of the vehicle and each one is motorized. Wheels are free to work for others. , It is designed to treat mouth entrance and exit. The other car will not make it to or from the mouth of the trial.

Our Father, Eduardo San Juan, is a very positive-charged creative fun of a healthy sense of humor.
