The Moon

In 1962, specially designed jackets and helmets were created for NASA's Apollo program. These jackets and helmets were made with space age materials that allowed the astronaut to move freely, yet still accomplish complicated maneuvers at breakneck speeds. A miracle hook material was attached to both the jacket and helmet. Researchers using rubber spheres covered in a loop material would hurl the spheres at the astronauts at high speeds requiring the astronauts to contort in attempting to catch the spheres on the desired body parts.

This practice significantly increased the coordination of those training to go into space. It is a little-known fact to those outside NASA's inner circle, but this jacket and helmet were taken onboard Apollo 18 for the two astronauts who landed on the lunar surface to pass the time. One would launch the fuzzy spheres with a club toward the other suited in the sticky jacket and helmet. They did this when they were not collecting rock samples and moonwalking, (Michael was barely 5 when this occurred). They also refrained from showing this activity during live feeds to earth, as they did not want people to think they were wasting taxpayers' money.

These jackets and helmets, including the high-speed projectile delivery system used on the moon, can be seen at most closed NBA team practices training those players to jump and contort to refine their unbelievable jams. Although the original NASA and NBA versions of these jackets and helmets cost millions of dollars, they are produced today at really great prices.
