Instructions
The mission
You are a member of a space crew originally scheduled to rendezvous with a mothership of the lighted surface of the moon. However, due to mechanical difficulties, your ship was forced to land at a spot some 200 miles from the rendezvous point.
During reentry and landing, much of the equipment aboard was damaged and, since survival depends on reaching the mothership, the most critical items have been scattered around the area.
Collect the 10 most important ones and rank them by placing them on storage platform. Place the most important item at number 1, the second most important at number 2, and so on through number 10 for the least important.
Once your are done, take a picture of the storage platform to show to your commander.
