Your Mission: Perform throwing and catching techniques on one foot to improve balance and spatial awareness.
On Earth, we use a variety of cues to sense the position of our bodies, while stationary or moving. We use touch and pressure cues (such as weight on our feet) and visual cues (such as location of ceiling and floors) to determine orientation. On Earth, our sense of upright is determined by the pull of gravity as sensed by the balance organs of the inner ear. Our brains integrate all this sensory information to allow us to detect our body orientation and permit us to move within our environment.
