Every year, NASA hosts an "offworld racing" event to challenge college and high school students to think like lunar mission engineers. The 16th Great Moonbuggy Race took place April 3 and 4 at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
This year's winner in the college division, seen here moving at speed, was Rochester Institute of Technology, of Rochester, N.Y. The overall field included 68 teams from 20 states, plus Puerto Rico, and four countries outside the U.S.
