The LER pivoted, pirouetted, and performed flawlessly as the crowd cheered wildly and the Obamas seemed transfixed by the rover. Too bad many of the spectators in the Presidential booth had already left. Take a look:

Compare the new rover with the old "moon buggy" from the 1970's Apollo missions:

UPDATE:

Here's a link to more images from NASA from the parade.
