Astronauts could exercise during lunar missions by running around the walls of a cylinder, like a motorbike around a 'Wall of Death.'
Moon-dwelling astronauts might be able to get their steps in by running along the walls like Spiderman.Due to the moon's weak gravity, at only one-sixth Earth's, astronauts could stay fit on the surface of our satellite by running horizontally around a cylinder, according to a new paper in the journal Royal Society Open Science.
'Here, we propose a novel solution: lunar inhabitants could engage in running on the inside of vertical circular walls, hence running parallel to the Moon's surface,' they wrote in the paper. 'Such an activity on Earth is reserved for motorized vehicles during stunt exhibitions but could be done by humans on the Moon and would generate enough centrifugal acceleration to emulate a higher level of gravity.
