| | |  Space Quidditch
An article reads that the people of NASA say you could play Quidditch if you were to fly to the moon and take advantage of the lack of gravity there. Quote: |
In an interview with Times Online, one of Nasa’s chief scientists said that a ‘micro-gravity sports competition’ held inside a giant bubble on the surface of the moon was not beyond the realm of possibility.
| Quote: |
“If you had a large, pressurised habitat, people could take advantage of the low-gravity environment by attaching wings to themselves and flying about,” Jeff Volosin, the lead global exploration strategy manager for Nasa, said.

Okay that is so cool but that is PLAIN ridiculous. I mean the idea is really cool but I think it has reached the limit of Harry Potter fanatics! It will be a bit funny as well because objects move pretty slowly when there is no gravity! So they wont move. The keepers will be able to block each and every Quaffle throw! Get REAL!!! NASA is really cool, but please! Come to reality! | |

I don't think we're going to have a full-fledged space settlement by 2024. It'd be cool, but judging from what's going on with the ISS, it won't happen that soon. But space Quidditch would be awesome if they could do it! | |
