Some day we will have a【29】 living on the moon, a place with neither air nor water and with temperatures that turn gases into solids. How can we have done all these things? Part of the answer is physical.【30】its limitations, our physical equipment has some important【31】. We have excellent vision and hands that can【30】objects with a precision unmatched by any other【33】.
