@TAsk and Nomen, the lack friction was negligable (But yes has an effect), what makes the major differance is that inertia is the same as on earth, that is its 1/6 easier to make things go up and down, but its just has hard to make them turn, and they hurt just as hard when they hit you.

All the inate reflexes that you have on the earth can get you killed, someone could lift a grand piano and throw it at you, and you instinct would be, "He threw it, so I can catch it", but you wouldnt be able to, because it would still have the same inertia as if it was on earth, it wouldnt crush you, but it would probably get you killed.

For this reason Astros do everything concisly, which has been taken as slowmotion, but it isnt, they are just more deliberate in their movements, including simple acts such as moveing their heads
