@yesiamawizardjonny LOL, indeed NASA put twelve men on the moon. These studies are designed to study long-duration exposure to low gravity, in the event we develop the technology (or the budget!) to put people on the moon for longer periods of time, as we now put folks into Low Earth Orbit for months at a time. They are studying the changes in muscle and bone, and how to develop countermeasures to the forces that degrade them when people are away from Earth's gravity :)
Why do they need to know what it's like to be in lunar gravity. Didn't NASA want us to believe they put a man on the moon?
