While in space, it was just folded up, attached to the LM. After they are on the Moon, the astronauts pulled a lanyard, causing it to unfold. Then they released it, got it ready, and used it for exploring. One of the LRV's (Lunar Roving Vehicles) went over 17 miles!

Eduardo San Juan did not invent the lunar rover. The lunar rover was developed by Boeing and General Motors for NASA's Apollo program in the 1970s.
Well you would need a space shuttle/rocket for a start....
You cannot drive the Lunar Rover in Animal Crossing City Folk. The Lunar Rover is just a piece of furniture, meant for show, and cannot be driven.
Yes, Neil Armstrong did not drive the lunar rover during the Apollo 11 mission. The lunar rover was used on later Apollo missions in which Armstrong did not participate.
Link 1 is a picture of the LRV, folded up, ready to be raised into its slot in the LM Descent Stage. Link 2 shows the LRV nearly retracted in its LM housing. Link 3 and 4 both show a fully installed and stowed LRV
The lunar rover was never returned to Earth...it still sits on the Moon today and probably will for many years to come.
No they are different rovers.
The lunar rover was first used on the Apollo mission 15.
what is a space rover
The lunar rover was a battery-powered vehicle designed to transport astronauts on the Moon's surface during the Apollo missions. It was compact, lightweight, and capable of carrying two astronauts, their equipment, and rock samples. The rover played a crucial role in expanding the exploration area and enhancing the productivity of the lunar missions.
Yes, two of them.
