And no one knows how much gravity you need to fix this. That's one reason a moon base would be beneficial. Does 16% gravity let you do exercises that let you

Does 16% gravity let you do exercises that let you keep most bone density? Is it pretty much the same as microgravity? Or is it somewhere between-- just slightly less bad than orbit.
I have some hope that 16% + an aggressive exercise program could be OK.
- mabbo 5y agoAs someone currently learning how to lift weights, I would love to be the guinea pig of a lunar exercise program. At 16% gravity I should be able to deadlift over 1500 lbs and bench 1000 lbs!
- mlyle 5y agoI bet having 6 times as much inertia for the weight makes things strange. In all seriousness, it's going to be mostly resistance exercises. But we can probably do better resistance exercises with gravity to help posture and alignment.
