  • While the ISS is still "under construction" by some definition (for 10+ years, by the way), people have circled the Earth and done micro-gravity experiments of all kinds for almost 50 years, sometimes using expensive laboratories like those provided by Skylab, the Saluts, Mir, the Spacelab in many configurations and the SpaceHab.

  • When an astronaut is in a micro-gravity environment (for example, doing a spacewalk outside the International Space Station), working in such a massive suit is manageable, but, as Newman says, "It's a whole different ballgame when we go to the moon or Mars, and we have to go back to walking and running, or loping."
