Scientists from the University of Milan say that building a 'Wall of Death' on the moon could be the key to keeping astronauts fit and healthy in a future lunar colony.
Researchers suggest cylinder to prevent astronauts losing muscle mass in low gravity environmentAs humans prepare to return to the moon after an absence of more than half a century, researchers have hit on a radical approach to keeping astronauts fit as they potter around the ball of rock.To prevent lunar explorers from becoming weak and feeble in the low gravity environment, scientists suggest astronauts go for a run. But, this being space, it’s not just any kind of run – researchers have...
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.The strange solution could help future lunar astronauts avoid the degeneration of their muscles, skeleton and cardiovascular system due to the weaker gravity on the...
Drawing inspiration from the traditional "Wall of Death" found in fairgrounds, the proposed lunar version aims to provide an unconventional yet effective exercise regimen for lunar explorers.
