“Lost on the Moon” NASA Survival Case Study

Read the following case study, Lost on the Moon, and rank-order the items listed on the worksheet provided. (Individually first, then as group)

Consider yourself a member of a spaceship crew. Your spacecraft was originally scheduled to rendezvous with a mother ship on the lighted surface of the moon. Due to engine failure, however, it was necessary for you and your crew to crash-land some two hundred miles from the mother ship. Luckily, you are still on the same side of the moon. In landing, much of the equipment was damaged beyond use and several of the crew were injured. Fifteen items of equipment were left intact and undamaged during the crash landing. Since it is necessary for you to reach the mother ship as soon as possible if you are to survive, only some of the undamaged equipment may be taken on the two hundred-mile trek that lies ahead. You have been given a sheet that lists the fifteen items of equipment that are still in serviceable condition.
