Explanation:
The pod may be heavier or lighter than normal, depending on the number of
asteroid samples.
• Based on everyday experience, heavier objects are more difficult to move as
compared to lighter objects, which are easier to move
This pod moved differently because it was more massive. The kids in other missions were less massive, so the thursters stopped the pod. The thrusters were supposed to do stop the pod, but since it was more massive it only slowed. The force exerted by the thrusters wasn't great enough to stop the pod.
