‘That’s one small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind’ – well, it seems as though the steps were not as easy to execute as one might think.
The Apollo missions landed multiple men on the moon, from Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on Apollo 11 to Harrison H. Schmitt on Apollo 17.
A less common sight of the moon landing are video clips showing the astronauts bobbing about, trying to find their balance amid the lack of gravity.
The video started doing rounds on Twitter after the account Universal Curiosity shared the NASA footage. It was subsequently reposted by entrepreneur Sahil Bloom, who wrote:

“I can’t believe I’ve lived 31 years of my life without seeing this. Absolutely hilarious. College me stumbling home from the bar finds this so very relatable.”
On Earth, falling down is usually very painful as gravity ensures a bit of a slam. But falling on the moon is quite different, with the astronauts ending up tumbling slowly. Despite being hilarious to watch, one of the biggest concerns during the moon landings was that the men would not be able to get up after falling about.
