Watch | Bloopers of astronauts during a moon walk goes viral

The last time a man set foot on the moon was in 1972. As part of the Apollo 17 mission, astronauts returned with a large number of samples and studied a large portion of the lunar surface. A video has been circulating on social media that purports to show “bloopers” from the astronauts’ moonwalk.

The video was released by the account @konstructivizm, and it depicts multiple astronauts losing their balance while walking on the moon in their space suits and falling. “Bloopers from NASA showing astronauts losing their balance while walking on the moon,” reads the video’s caption.

It depicted an astronaut floating in space, working on the International Space Station ( ISS ) , which is orbiting the Earth. “Just amazing to see,” Mahindra wrote. “It’s like an extraterrestrial ballet. #MondayMotivation I want to start my week believing that my work will be as important— and as fascinating—as this astronaut’s.”
