Well, if the chinese make a base on the moon, the astronauts will probably play china’s national sport to pass their time. I have no idea what china’s national sport is, though. I don’t think it is foot ball. Of course it will have to be a moon version of the sport since there is less gravity.

Yeah I think so. It make sense to make up new sports that take advantage of the reduce gravity in space, with players jumping over each other. A game of 3 dimensional soccer anyone?

Is it table tennis, Paul?

Oh yeah, they are definitely amazing at table tennis… Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnCHdy0u4T4
Wow moon table tennis would be crazy… You could probably hit the ball faster than the escape speed of the moon and send it into orbit!
