A Comprehensive Guide to the Physics of Running on the Moon
from Science, Spoken · host SpokenLayer
One day humans will have a permanent presence on the moon. Right? One day it's going to happen. So, how are we going to live on the moon? And maybe a more important question—how are we going to move around there? In preparation for our lunar colony, let me look at three motions that we could do on the moon: jumping, running, and turning. Let me note that this analysis is inspired by Andy Weir's recent novel Artemis. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
