This is a video of Astronaut Jack Schmitt kicking a rock, or more like a small boulder, downhill on the lunar surface during Apollo 17. The goal was the get at some fresh lunar soil underneath the rock.

I love seeing these out takes that you don’t normally get on the science channels, this is the boring behind the scenes stuff that interests me.
