iflscience.com

A new video by Randall Munroe explores the idea of a swimming pool on the Moon. It suggests that astronauts could swim and float in the pool due to buoyancy, similar to swimming on Earth, but with more dramatic waves due to lower gravity. The video also discusses the possibility of humans running on water in the Moon's low gravity. Research indicates that with reduced gravity, it might be feasible for people weighing up to 73 kilograms to run on water, unlike on Earth. Overall, the concept presents a fun and imaginative scenario, highlighting how a Moon pool could enhance the experience of astronauts beyond traditional activities during lunar missions.
