Scoring

Subtract your ranking number for each item from NASA's ranking number. Add these differences. A low score will be closest to the NASA ratings and your chance for survival is best.

Explanation

These are the answers supplied by the NASA scientists. The answers are split into groups - physical survival and traveling to the rendezvous.

The first two items are air and water, without which you cannot survive at all. After that comes the map for locating position and figuring out how to get to the rendezvous. Food comes next for strength on the trip. It is not as necessary for survival as air and water.

The FM transceiver is for keeping in touch with Earth. In a vacuum, without the ionosphere, radio transmission travels only in line of sight and would be limited on the Moon to destination of approximately ten miles. On Earth, powerful receivers could pick up messages, which would then be relayed to the mother ship. The next item would be the rope for lunar mountain climbing and traversing crevasses on the trip. The next item would be first aid for injuries. Parachute silk would offer excellent protection from sunlight and heat buildup.

The life raft is a carryall for supplies, (the Moon's gravity permits heavy loads to be carried), as a shelter, and a possible stretcher for the injured. It also offers protection from micro-meteorite showers.

Flares cannot burn in a vacuum, but they, as well as the pistols, can be shot. Flares and guns would therefore be excellent propulsive devices for flying over obstructions. The milk is heavy and relatively less valuable.

On the Moon overheating is a problem and not cold. Thus the heating unit is useless.

The magnetic compass is useless without a map of the Moon's field.

The box of matches is the most useless item.
