The two met giving a speech. The year is 2015. Your mission is to choose a lunar landing site, land safely and establish the first lunar base. Your team will be the first to return to the moon since the Apollo crew in 1969. During the mock training flight, participants act as astronauts in a simulated spacecraft and as mission controllers on the ground.
Teams switch positions halfway through the day.
Crews are split into eight teams, each of which has tasks including remote, navigation, isolation and medical. Team duties might include assembling a probe, collecting and testing lunar rocks and soil samples, and performing medical tests. Each team is also given instructions on how to communicate by orally and visually, using cameras and computers. The main goal is to build communication between ground and remote crew members. We know much more of where we need to go.
