A short compilation of astronauts falling over on the Moon during the Apollo missions, showcasing their challenges with balance and movement caused by the Moon's low gravity, bulky spacesuits, and navigating the loose, dry lunar regolith.

@wonderofscience They look like wayward Thunderbirds puppets! 😆

@wonderofscience There’s a bit of an Ozymandias quality to this. Love it!

Bjbrightwell,

@wonderofscience we’ve all been there.

@wonderofscience It's a dirt trampoline! One of the recoveries is a thing of beauty.

@wonderofscience That wire work takes some practice.

JeffS,

@wonderofscience I wonder if they ever felt like if they bounced too high, they wouldn't come back down.

@wonderofscience guess I'll just have to hum the Benny Hill Theme to myself...

@wonderofscience Michael Jackson was too graceful. "Ooh ooh ooh!" should have been "Oops oops oops!"

@wonderofscience That's me after a few beers, although I am not sure my knees could take that hammering now!

Dieses Video nutze ich gerne im #Physik #Unterricht um die Gewichtskraft auf dem Mond zu erklären. Der Rucksack der Astronauten wiegt etwa 80 kg. Zur Veranschaulichung sollen sich die SuS vorstellen, sie müssten ihren Vater Huckepack nehmen und dann springen.

Selbst in der Mittelstufe werden die SuS plötzlich ernst, wenn der Astronaut berichtet, dass aus Spaß Ernst wurde und er plötzlich Todesangst verspürte…

    @scorpil @wonderofscience They always went outside in pairs. Their buddy would help them up.

    MisterMadge,

    @wonderofscience a true Wonder of Science!

    zoomx2,

    @wonderofscience that would be me after a few drinks.

    XdN,

    @wonderofscience But why didn't the director just yell "cut!" and have them re-film the scenes without tripping? Surely the studio execs would want it to look convincing!

    @wonderofscience The reason for the outer bulky space suits, is to protect the inner suit from rocks and stuff. Probably did not help that their boots had a very basic tread.

    @wonderofscience

    Sorry, NASA spacemen, but this was funny.

    You can also see why collapsable carts and bungee cords were invented.

    Zero gravity is, however, a great excuse I will try when I trip over my own feet.

    Brutus,

    @wonderofscience More proof that the moon-landing wasn't faked.

    @wonderofscience too bad break dancing hadn't been invented yet..

    mikecormido,

    @wonderofscience it’s crazy they aren’t more careful with falls like these… something could puncture the suit, damage some important equipment, etc.. I’m the caring parent 😂

    jobsboils,

    @wonderofscience Pratfalls in space.

    Buster Keaton would've been a natural.

    No officer, I haven't been drinking. It's just the gravity.
