Gregory's ServerA 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.

@JackEnrod @wonderofscience that's what I have been thinking too. I am sure those view glasses could handle a bump or two, but I would have need a space underwear change every time I felt I was loosing my balance @nytpu @JackEnrod @wonderofscience  @ashiisbest @nytpu @JackEnrod @wonderofscience @nytpu @JackEnrod @wonderofscience It's really amazing nothing more serious did happen. https://www.nasa.gov/exploration/humanresearch/multimedia/images/hrpg_img_06.html https://www.wired.com/story/the-next-big-challenge-for-lunar-astronauts-moon-dust/  @wonderofscience @wonderofscience   @wonderofscience Imagine tripping, reacting as you normally would, but the ground isn't as close as it should be because you're falling slowly. Apollo astronauts probably felt like toddlers taking their first steps. @RebeccaBoyce @wonderofscience This is one for you flat earthers- you can’t believe the evidence of your own eyes! So, you invent another conspiracy… #ufo #uap #moon @RebeccaBoyce @wonderofscience According to the Corridor Crew (a VFX channel on YouTube) these "blooper" videos are clearest evidence for the Moon landing being real, because the technologies (camera mechanics, image manipulation) needed to make these shots didn't exist for several decades after the landings.  @wonderofscience Per #ThePolice "Giant steps are what you take  @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 😂 @mikecormido @wonderofscience They were designed so the chances of that were very low. There's a comment upthread that goes into detail.  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.  @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 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! @scorpil @wonderofscience They always went outside in pairs. Their buddy would help them up. @wonderofscience #FediLZ #PhysikEdu #MintEdu 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… @wonderofscience That's me after a few beers, although I am not sure my knees could take that hammering now! @wonderofscience These videos are what finally convinced me that the Moon Landing was real.  @wonderofscience Michael Jackson was too graceful. "Ooh ooh ooh!" should have been "Oops oops oops!" @wonderofscience guess I'll just have to hum the Benny Hill Theme to myself...   Some of them are like: "Hey I have less weight, less weight!! Ohhh, oops still got the same momentum................" FLOPCRASH  @wonderofscience I wonder if they ever felt like if they bounced too high, they wouldn't come back down.  @wonderofscience We have a saying in roller derby: Falling is learning. It applies here too. @wonderofscience I love the one where they fall forward, then just sproing back up :zerotwo_excited:  @wonderofscience It's a dirt trampoline! One of the recoveries is a thing of beauty.  @wonderofscience 2023 Viral videos! Syakirah Baby Putie Ariza Rafifa Am Vane Kesyskiskie  |
@wonderofscience I remember my first beer.
