a GIF of astronaut Pete Conrad running and tumbling in loops around Skylab's ring of storage lockers in mid-1973; there's no gravity, but his forward momentum is enough to propel him along the improvised running track; NASA command didn't recommend exercising this way because each footstep made the entire Skylab rotate by about an arcminute

1973 NASA footage found on Wikipedia and YouTube
