A how-to is an informal, often short, video, writing, or description of how to accomplish a specific task. A how-to is usually meant to help non-experts, may leave out details that are only important to experts, and may also be greatly simplified from an overall discussion of the topic.
DIY is the activity of making or repairing things yourself, especially in your home. DIY is an abbreviation for ‘do-it-yourself’. Do you know what’s great about DIY projects? Everything.

The rover on the moon couldn’t support nearly this much weight here in the full gravity of earth. (Polaris/)The original NASA Lunar Roving Vehicle wouldn’t be very much fun to drive here on Earth. Its speed topped out at a paltry 8 mph and, because it was built for the moon’s reduced gravity, it would collapse under the weight of a normal human.
