Did the first astronauts understand what it felt like to walk on the moon prior to departing? And if so how was it calculated and recreated?
In: Physics
We knew the moon’s mass so we knew on paper what the force of gravity would be, but the 1960s didn’t have a ton of technology to sinulate low gravity on Earth. AFAIK astronauts spent quite a bit of each moon landing figuring out how to move effectively. The “moon hop” as opposed to walking was something figured out on the moon, not in training
