Just opening the tank would cause the water to boil off without atmospheric pressure. (But since daytime on the moon lasts 13 Earth days you probably can reach the mothership before nightfall if you’re lucky.)Ģ) Water will either freeze or boil in the tanks, they need to be thermally regulated before drinking. I think leaving is suicide and you should wait for help in the spaceship!ġ) There’s no such thing as a permanently lighted side of the moon. My BS meter was in the red the whole time! I would also like NASA to give us their thoughts on this. I just don’t feel this exercise is accurate. Observer > 2016 > February > NASA Exercise: Ranking Survival Objects for the Moon Too close or too far hurts cognitive distance and group cognitive synergy.

NASA Exercise Answer Keyįor the original individual task (instructions and answer key), see: *take the absolute values of the difference between your rankings and the expert rankings. Stellar map (of the moon’s constellation)įirst aid kit containing injection needles Record these in the column labelled “Step 2.” Items Step 2: Now, as a team, reconsider the items and come up with a new set of rankings. Record these in the column labelled “Step 1.” Place the number 1 by the most important item, the number 2 by the second-most important, and so on through number 15, the least important. Step 1: Without communicating with team members, rank each item in order of importance. Your task is to rank them in terms of their importance in allowing your crew to reach the rendezvous point. Below are listed the 15 items left intact and undamaged after landing. During the crash landing, much of the equipment aboard was damaged and, since survival depends on reaching the mother ship, the most critical items available must be chosen for the trip. Due to mechanical difficulties, however, your ship was forced to land at a spot some 200 miles from the rendezvous point.
You are a member of a space crew originally scheduled to rendezvous with a mother ship on the lighted surface of the moon. Listen for evidence of good collaboration in the teams with positive synergy. Then ask the teams with positive synergy scores why they think their teams performed well. Ask the students in the teams with negative synergy scores why they think their team performed as it did. Subtract the team score from the individual score this provides the “synergy” score. Instructors should ensure that students interact only within groups and no cross-talking occurs between groups.Īfter revealing the correct answers and allowing teams to calculate their scores, record the team score and the lowest individual score from each team. In the group part of the exercise, all groups should be instructed to employ the method of group consensus, which requires each group member to agree upon the rankings for each of the 15 survival items before the item becomes a part of the group decision (e.g., Hall and Watson, 1970). Group members should be instructed to rank the objects individually (–10 min) and then in groups (15 min.).
