According to the ship"s computer, which was actually a laptop she borrowed from her mom, there was an atmosphere on this moon. Climbing out of the spacecraft, CJ grabbed her test equipment. They included a small bucket and shovel, and also a battery powered drill for drilling samples in the moon's surface. She put everything in the small moon rover, which was hardly big enough to hold it all. Being in space all alone makes time seem to go by very fast when you are busy collecting samples. After several hours Christine Joyce had collected some dirt, sand, and a lot of small rocks. There was also one larger rock which she had tried drilling samples from, but the only samples she got were 3 broke drill bits. This did not deter her though. Getting a hammer from the tool kit, CJ smashed the rock into several pieces, which now made excellent samples
