The Moon buggy
The Lunar Roving Vehicle, or moon buggy, was the vehicle used by astronauts  when they explored the moon in the 1970s. It was considered Apollo’s Cadillac of lunar vehicles  and was developed by Boeing and General Motors. Moon buggies run by electricity and were specially designed to operate on the lunar surface. They measure 1.1 metres tall and 3 metres long. They weigh 210 kg but they can carry a payload of up to 490 kg. The wheels were  also designed very carefully to resist the rocky moon surface which is covered in dirt. A lunar rover also has a controller, motors, brakes, and two seats  for astronauts to sit in. 
Most Filipinos consider Dr. Eduardo San Juan, a NASA engineer, the inventor of the Lunar Rover. However, San Juan was not listed as the inventor  of the moon buggy in NASA documents. Officially, the vehicle was designed  and constructed by a group of space engineers. Nevertheless, it is claimed that he received one of the Ten Outstanding Men (TOM) awards in science and technology in 1978.

ANSWER KEYS:
A. LISTENING.(2.5pts)
Tapescripts:
I think the inhabitants of Jupiter may be very different to human beings. This is how
I imagine them:
They may be much bigger and more powerful than humans. Jupiterians may have
eight legs and be able to move very fast. They may have a lot of hair all over their
bodies and their skin might be very thick so they can live in temperatures of around
-145 degrees Celsius. They may have four eyes and be able to see very far. They may
also have a very good sense of smell and they may even be able to sense others’
feelings like happiness or fear. And I don’t think they eat and drink like us. Instead,
they get all their energy from the rocks. They may charge their bodies by plugging
their feet into the rock, just like charging a battery. That way, they don’t even need
to breathe air.
The only way they may be similar to us is they live in family units of parents and
children. They may also use language to communicate with each other.
