Watch astronauts use futuristic robot ‘SuperLimbs’ to avoid tumbles on moon – they prevent epic falls like Apollo crews’ [Video]

In a hilarious video, a team of Apollo astronauts tested out the system, showing themselves attempting to, and failing at walking on the moon.

The video, provided by Nasa, shows the astronauts tripping as they bounce in slow motion.

“Astronauts are physically very capable, but they can struggle on the moon, where gravity is one-sixth that of Earth’s but their inertia is still the same. Furthermore, wearing a spacesuit is a significant burden and can constrict their movements,” Mechanical …
