5/ Look ot the picture, read the text about Austronaut Alan B. Shepard who played golf on the Moon in February 1971, and be ready to put questions to the text.

Strange but true.

Moon golf is a strange game and the rules are very different. To begin with, you never hit the ball very hard. On the Moon, the gravity is very low so be careful. Shepard took three golf balls with him. On the Moon, a golf ball can move at a speed of 200 km per hour and will travel 1.9 km. Shepard's first ball wasn't successful and it stopped after about a metre. Then he hit the second ball and it disappeared. He left the third ball on the Moon for future visitors.
