Last weekend, my family and I visited the new science museum in the city. It was a fantastic experience! The museum had a special exhibition about space exploration. We saw a real model of a Mars rover and learned about how astronauts live on the International Space Station. My younger sister loved the planetarium show about stars and constellations. My dad argued that learning from museums is more fun than just reading books. I think he is right because you can see and touch things. We spent almost five hours there and had lunch in the museum café. It was one of the best Saturdays ever.

B. Find the word in the text that means "a vehicle for exploring the surface of a planet". (1 mark)
