Over the course of the Apollo moon missions in the 1960s and 1970s, several NASA astronauts walked on the lunar surface.
With the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landings approaching, images and videos of NASA astronauts gracefully conducting experiments on the lunar surface are being widely circulated. However, it's important to remember that these moonwalks didn't always go smoothly, as archive video from the space agency showing astronauts falling over demonstrates.
"During the Apollo 15 lunar EVAs [extravehicular activities] there were instances where the astronauts momentarily lost their balance and sometimes even fell,"."The purpose of this analysis is to determine the characteristics of such falls—and near-falls as well—and to identify the specific reasons for their occurrence."
"This fall occurred at GMT 214:11:06:28 during the third lunar EVA. CDR [Commander David] Scott and LMP [Lunar Module Pilot Jim] Irwin are at Station 9A describing the area and Scott is taking photographs," the report read."The CDR begins moving toward a new area as he gives the camera reading and summarizes the description of the area."
