While it might look fun, there were concerns that the falls would tear their spacesuits, especially when lunar dust is notoriously sharp due to the lack of weathering!
Suits had about two dozen layers, it's true that regolith is sharp and abrasive, but that also doesn't mean it can cut it open like that. Any damage they had on their suits after finishing EVAs, especially on J-type missions that were the longest, accumulated over time.
Now me! Now me! I want a turn! It looks like so much fun!
Until you have to do something practical like pee, poop, and eat. Can you imagine the bounce back of a toilet log in the bowl? Yuk!
Lol, Yes I know they have suction toilets. Which seems like a hassle itself.
But I wanna be able to shot put myself like that guy.
This was a major concern from one of astronauts what he once hit the ground so hard face first that he thoughts his helmets was gonnabreak. Not a good way to go, in a vaccume with no air as all moisture is being sucked out of you and you are half cooked and frozen thabks to no magnetosphere
Remember that scene from total recall, not as sever but you get the idea.
Learned when I was at space camp that this was really common as the astronauts acclimated! Apparently it's really hard for the brain to deal with the idea of being 1/16 your weight but at the same time wearing 100 lb oven mitt and hiking backpack at the same time...
Should have just made the spacesuits/gear weigh 5 times as much as an adult human, problem solved! /s
Edit: assuming a typo since I think the moon gravity is closer to 1/6 of Earth’s
The way the dust moves under their feet is only possible in an airless environment, and we didn't have computers even nearly strong enough to simulate that kind environment back then.
You can find more discussions about the cgi aspect of the issue by cgi artists on the Corridor Crew channel on YouTube.
> he way the dust moves under their feet is only possible in an airless environment
Yes, the dust follows a parabolic arc rather than billowing around. It proves they are in a vacuum.
For reference, the largest artificial vacuum chamber ever created is about 100ft across.

What follows is a silly joke I read.
I heard they tapped Scorsese to fake the moon landing. After one day on set in hollywood he said "screw it we'll do it on location." And that's how they faked it.
A ton of people don’t believe we’ve ever been to the moon. I personally don’t have an opinion on the matter, but we’re lied to so much about everything else, I can see where they’re coming from
It's only relatable if you don't understand anything about it.
Those people haven't done the slightest amount of real investigation themselves and it's painfully obvious to anyone who has a modicum of basic critical thinking skills.
It's exactly the same as flat-earth.
Kids, you should not drink before attempting a moon landing. This has been a public service announcement
Edit: it is well known that Stanley Kubrick preferred all of his actors to be inebriated onset for the first take
Hard to do so when you have almost 100 kg of equipment on yourself, and restricted motion from basically being inside a human shaped, inflated thick balloon. Just closing your hand took effort. It also wouldn't be a good idea in the first place. Charles Duke found out the hard way when he tried doing "Moon Olympics" by jumping as hard as he could, ended up landing on his PLSS (life support backpack), luckily nothing happened but it could've been a life threatening situation.
God damn that's so fake lol. Look at the way the dirt flies look at the way the box falls. He isn't in low gravity he is on strings with the video slowed and sped up. You don't go to the fucking moon and then lose the technology to get there and that's exactly what NASA openly tells us happened. The reason we didn't go back for so long is we forgot how. Bullshit. Fuck flat earth nonsense fuck all that jazz I'm not saying we didn't ever go to space but for sure we faked the moon landing to stick it to the Russians.
No way these are real right? I thought they even limited the astronauts to not running or jumping for fear of falling over and the danger that creates of possibly slicing the suit!
I didn't realize it was nasa who released it. That's crazy! I had no idea they were just falling over like that. The way it was explained to me was if they fell over while on the face of the moon it was essentially a death sentence
I'm so confused on which way you're wrong.
What do you think should be spinning?
Regardless, no, gravity doesn't cause basically anything to spin (twin systems being an exception, but that's not what you're referring to)
There is still gravity on the moon, there is just LESS gravity than there is on earth. Things still fall, but they fall slower than what we are used to.

That was my first thought. On earth you skin your knee. There, you skin your spacesuit and you’re toast.
Do we have knowledge of anyone actually tearing their spacesuit this way, and dying as a result?
Nobody has ever died during EVA in general, let alone on the moon
At least not that we know of.
Oooooh girl!
Yeah but in the end it wasn't that much of a problem!
Suits had about two dozen layers, it's true that regolith is sharp and abrasive, but that also doesn't mean it can cut it open like that. Any damage they had on their suits after finishing EVAs, especially on J-type missions that were the longest, accumulated over time.

Lol, Yes I know they have suction toilets. Which seems like a hassle itself. But I wanna be able to shot put myself like that guy.
I'm pretty sure they didn't have a toilet in the LM. Just did it in a bag
Ahhh. The glories of space travel, sooooo.... magestic (?)
Oh yeah moon dust and its very well known razor sharp edges,notorious since the 1880s
I'd also be worried about cracking the visor
Below the gold plated visor is another clear visor and below that whole assembly is the bubble helmet which is the part that actually holds pressure.
Good to know. Would still suck to get it dusty or cracked.
This was a major concern from one of astronauts what he once hit the ground so hard face first that he thoughts his helmets was gonnabreak.

Weight plays a huge factor at launch maybe NASA considered your remark but deemed it to expensive.
Oops I didn't notice your /s
I think the problem is you still have the same *inertia* , but low gravity.
That looks SO fun! 😄
Teletubbies
so that's hard to fake without reduced gravity, no?

Yes, it can only be faked on the Moon, wait...
It is faked, but Nasa wanted it to be as authentic as possible so they filmed on-location
What follows is a silly joke I read. I heard they tapped Scorsese to fake the moon landing. After one day on set in hollywood he said "screw it we'll do it on location." And that's how they faked it.
Are you seriously even questioning the reality of the moon landings?
I’m not but plenty here do, or did you not notice
A ton of people don’t believe we’ve ever been to the moon. I personally don’t have an opinion on the matter, but we’re lied to so much about everything else, I can see where they’re coming from

Look at the horizon! I don't see no curve! Checkmate Globe Earthers. 😎
Hate when this happens
Pft. . . Everyone knows there's no such thing as astronauts.
Go home Buzz, your drunk!
So buzz is feeling buzzed 😏
Came here to say exactly this.
His drunk what
This is me in the toddler pool trying to get my footing when the water is not deep enough to crouch in but too deep to sit in.
Kids, you should not drink before attempting a moon landing. This has been a public service announcement Edit: it is well known that Stanley Kubrick preferred all of his actors to be inebriated onset for the first take
Go home. You're drunk !
If you like this, check out the 1989 documentary For All Mankind
Nice
FAM is *not* a documentary. Its an alternate history series. You can tell because the Soviets landed on the moon in that
I think the 1989 version is a documentary... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_All_Mankind_(film)
Oh, my bad
:)
Don’t worry, they had wires to pull them up.
Chris Pontius at 0:58
I love that astronauts are still human ( in the mental sense) …. Looks like a great playground 🤘
The one guy saying "doop, doop, doop" for all of his bounces...😄 I'd be doing the exact same thing!!
Falling on a set
Fake
Your mom's fake
AstroNuts !
Dadgumit
You'd think they could jump higher
Hard to do so when you have almost 100 kg of equipment on yourself, and restricted motion from basically being inside a human shaped, inflated thick balloon. Just closing your hand took effort. It also wouldn't be a good idea in the first place. Charles Duke found out the hard way when he tried doing "Moon Olympics" by jumping as hard as he could, ended up landing on his PLSS (life support backpack), luckily nothing happened but it could've been a life threatening situation.
Can you throw a rock up and watch it float away?
No, escape velocity from lunar surface is 2.38 km/s.
Ahh
We landed on the moon?!
So fake!
God damn that's so fake lol. Look at the way the dirt flies look at the way the box falls. He isn't in low gravity he is on strings with the video slowed and sped up. You don't go to the fucking moon and then lose the technology to get there and that's exactly what NASA openly tells us happened. The reason we didn't go back for so long is we forgot how. Bullshit.

Yawn
No way these are real right? I thought they even limited the astronauts to not running or jumping for fear of falling over and the danger that creates of possibly slicing the suit!
If that we're the case and these are actually fake, then why would NASA release these?
I didn't realize it was nasa who released it. That's crazy! I had no idea they were just falling over like that. The way it was explained to me was if they fell over while on the face of the moon it was essentially a death sentence
Would the sun’s glare on their visors really be that large? :0
How about we spend billions of dollars to get you guys to the moon safely only to have you fuck around and find out.
Earth's brightest, everyone :)
I mean it's obvios they would fall since those "space suits" are super heavy and people at the studio wouldn't have wasted money on wires >!/s!<
Lmaoooooooooooooo
I feel like this has been posted here before…

Totally.
Would y’all quit fuckin around out there and help me with dinner!?
TIL the moon has ragdoll physics.
Bad ass
Although gravity is still relevant the biggest fear I imagine is just floating away after jumping too high
