| | |  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.

I knew I should have been an astronaut! While all the muggles where here awaiting the next book, I could have been playing Quiddich.

OMG!! that's frickin awesome! i'd so do that, too bad they couldn't create a large, pressurised habitat, on earth, and take away gravity.... If you can have artificial gravity in space, you can have no gravity on Earth (a little bit)
