Found this light hearted article at NASA, http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2005/30aug_moontennis.htm?list149304

Talking about the physics involved if one were to try and play tennis on the moon, when it is colonised in the future.

At 1/6th of earth's gravity, even the ball toss would take ages to come back down.. would be a very interesting sight :)

Worth a read anyway, for a bit of fun.

You would have enough time to do a bit of observing while your waiting for the ball after the toss!
