Cover: Astronaut E. F. Aldrin, Jr., walks on the lunar surface during the Apollo 11 mission. Top right: a contour plot of the percent recovery of mechanical energy at different combinations of walking velocity and simulated gravity, where G equals times normal gravity. The changes in mechanical energy recovery do not explain the metabolic cost of walking in simulated reduced gravity. (See Griffin et al. J. Appl. Physiol. 86: 383-390, 1999.
