An Expedition to the Moon's South Pole

The B.E.S.T. team consists of Barbara, Elizabeth, Steve, and Tom. Barbara is the team captain and pilot. She is a natural leader. Environmental engineer Elizabeth is crucial in striving to solve problems related to natural resources. Steve is a great problem solver. He is our experienced robotics engineer and driver. Enthusiastic Tom is an excellent lunar scientist who studies the surface conditions and availability of ice deep in craters. A robotic "snake" left behind will help future explorations. Solar-powered and able to slither over the loose "soil" and rocks, it has special sensors and can "lick" to identify the elements found.
