(Word to that effect was received from Moonshot Project Manager Yasuharu Kunii.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, did you know that LEV-1 has a license plate attached? \u201cMoon 800 J5381\u201d is a cute plate number, don\u2019t you think? It has a local area designation of \u201cMoon,\u201d and the number \u201c800\u201d designates it as a special vehicle. A little too special in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cJ\u201d of course is for Japan, and you can find out about the 5381 by reading the following article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Professor Yasuharu Kunii, at the time the license plate was created for a bit of fun, and something that could make a good story in the future. It certainly turned into a good story!
