Youtube celebrity Joe Penna, better known as the Mystery Guitar Man, typically produces comedic music videos for his 2.8 million subscribers. This week, Penna — a self-described space nerd — decided to break the mold of his recent uploads by producing a feature on Penn State’s Lunar Lion, the university’s entry in the $20 million Google Lunar X Prize competition.
