This footage shows astronauts walking on the Moon surface during NASA’s Apollo missions. Between 1969 and 1972, astronauts explored the Moon in low gravity and worked in a completely airless environment. The Moon’s gravity is only one-sixth of Earth’s, which is why astronauts move slowly and bounce. They collected rock samples, set up scientific experiments, and studied the lunar surface. These Apollo mission footages remain one of the most important records in human space exploration history. #

What do astronauts do when they get to the moon? They throw hammers, skip, and pose for photos! Check out more moon moments in honor of Apollo 11's 50th anniversary. | AARP
