Scientists use mock-up lunar landing site to test whether future moon men can pinpoint their location. Moon buggies are tested, too, over craters, which duplicate the moon's surface. An open field has been craters to represent a region of the moon. Large holes dot the landscape. A technician sits in a moon buggy and then maneuvers it through various craters. Close-up shot of the technician griping the buggy's joystick.
