Moonwalk

Extravehicular activity

Extravehicular activity (EVA) is any activity performed by an astronaut in outer space outside of a spacecraft. This includes spacewalks, lunar or planetary surface exploration, and stand-up EVAs (SEVAs) where astronauts stand through an open hatch without fully leaving the spacecraft. EVAs have been conducted by the Soviet Union/Russia, the United States, and China, with astronauts from Canada, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, and the European Space Agency also participating in EVAs conducted by those nations. Since there is no atmosphere in space, the astronaut is completely dependent on the space suit for environmental support.

Moonwalk (dance)

The moonwalk, or backslide, is a popping dance move in which the performer glides backwards but their body actions suggest forward motion. It became popular around the world when American singer Michael Jackson performed the move during the performance of "Billie Jean" on Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever, which was broadcast in 1983; he later incorporated it in tours and live performances. Jackson has been credited as renaming the "backslide" as the moonwalk and it became his signature move. The moonwalk existed for decades before it had that name: Cab Calloway called it "the buzz"; California's black dancers called it the backslide; tap dancers, a skate; and the French mime artist Marcel Marceau called it "walking against the wind."

Moonwalk (book)

Moonwalk is a 1988 autobiography by American singer Michael Jackson. It was first published by Doubleday on February 1, 1988, five months after the release of Jackson's album Bad in 1987, and was named after Jackson's signature dance move, the moonwalk. The book was edited and contains a foreword by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who was the first lady of the United States from 1961 to 1963.
