How to Moonwalk

In this Instructable, I will be describing how to move around if you ever find yourself stranded on the moon without a lunar rover. These are the official Moonwalks as described in the Space Academy Mission Journal distributed at the Huntsville, Alabama Space and Rocket Center.

Step 1 The Bunny-Hop

One of the possible moon-walk versions is the "Bunny Hop". To do this, just hop around, jumping with both feet off the ground at the same time. After getting a chance to use a 1/6 chair (an astronaut training device that simulates the moons gravity), I found this version to be the easiest and it also gives you the highest vertical jump too.

Here are some videos I found on YouTube of a 1/6 chair in action:

[Dr. Explosion]

 Thats what you think! It was mostly a sarcastic entry for a "How to Moonwalk" category in a contest.

Back flips on the moon are fun.

[PKM]

I see what you did there.

[Dr. Explosion]

Excuse me?

From UrbanDictionary:

"A common turn of phrase on the internet, generally used as an expression of quiet, subdued admiration for one's wit. Especially appropriate after a particularly deft pun. "

Hard to explain properly.. it's a bit like the english equivalent of mazel tov :) It basically means "I have appreciated the parfait-like layers of your wordplay".

[jman109]

I'm Sorry to say this Dr. But you have been packing on the pounds as shown in step 3 so i see why you would want to walk on the moon

[Dr. Explosion]

I know, all those chili cheese steaks have really been adding up! :-P
