So the invention of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) was a real game-changer for manned missions. Setting foot on the moon had symbolic importance, but walking isn't very practical when you've got a whole lot of ground to cover and not much time.

When walking on the moon you’d feel much lighter and be struck by the sharp colours due to the very thin atmosphere. The moon’s gravity is about 1/6th of Earth’s meaning you’d weight about 16% of what you do here, and be able to jump about six times higher than you can on Earth. One of the most striking things about walking on the moon is the low gravity. The list of astronauts who've walked on the moon during the Apollo era are: There are 24 people in all who have made the journey - all Americans - with the other 12 remaining on various spacecraft. Whoever got to the moon first would attain serious bragging rights.Īnd it was in 1969 that the ground-breaking first walk on the moon took place, with Neil Armstrong the first to make a footprint and utter the words "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind".Ĭlosely followed by Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, the duo were the first of 12 people who have walked on the moon in what was termed the Apollo missions. I was a bit skeptical of these Apple headphones due to their hefty price point but dang, these suckers are good.The backdrop for this ground-breaking achievement was the USA's Cold War " space race" competition with the Soviet Union, which had itself become the first nation to put a man - Yuri Gagarin - in space. Last, but certainly not least, a walk wouldn’t be complete without some jams. Aside from its many wonderful features like cycle and sleep tracking, I love that it collects data on my heart rate and activity level for instant feedback through the app. These puppies sell like hotcakes…many of you have recommended this Amazon dupe which comes in some an array of colors.Īs far as accessories, I never walk without my Oura Ring. Next, the Lululemon belt bag makes it SO easy to tow my phone, chapstick, credit cards, etc. For those chillier morning walks, I bring a cropped sweatshirt like this one from Lululemon that I can toss around my waist as the temps heat up. Lululemon Align leggings are another staple for my daily walks…or a pair of these Amazon shorts on a super hot day. My tried and true are the Nike Air Max 270s…I’ve got a slight obsession with with these but they’re oh so good. The foundation to every hot mom walk is a good ole pair of kicks. While this was simply for a change of scenery, many of us built this ritual into our daily routine and now parks, trails, and sidewalks are flooded with hot gals doing their hot gal walk - or as I like to verrry loosely call it depending on the day my “hot mom walk".” ![]() You’d change out of the PJs you’d been rocking for 3 days straight, break out your sneaks, put on your favorite playlist, and walk…for hours. ![]() I believe the term was coined during quarantine when we were desperately looking for something to keep us sane while staying safe. The Hot Girl Walk - maybe you’ve heard of it, maybe you haven’t. ![]()
