The gravity is low, and they were in rather stiff spacesuits. The easiest way to move around was a sort of "kangaroo hop" or lope, so that is what they did.
Compass jumpsA compass jump is a bicycling trick where you keep your knees slightly bent, feet together and stay on your toes at all times - bounce and move your feet forward (north), bounce and bring your feet back to the starting point, bounce and move your feet to your right (east), bounce and bring your feet back to the starting point, bounce and move your feet to the rear (south), bounce and bring your feet back to the starting point, bounce and move your feet to your left (west), bounce and bring your feet back to the starting point, repeat.
A super ball can bounce up to around 90% of its drop height, so if it is dropped from 5 feet, it could potentially bounce back up to around 4.5 feet. However, this can vary based on factors like the surface it bounces on and the initial impact angle.
Inflatable bounce houses can vary in size, but they typically range from around 10 feet by 10 feet to 30 feet by 30 feet. They can be small enough for a few children or large enough to accommodate several at once.
After each bounce, the ball reaches half of the height from which it was dropped. Since the ball was initially dropped from 10 feet, on the first bounce it will reach 5 feet, on the second bounce it will reach 2.5 feet, on the third bounce it will reach 1.25 feet, and on the fourth bounce it will reach 0.625 feet.
If properly inflated, it will bounce 8 times. Each bounce rebounds about 70%, so 14 feet on the first bounce, then about 10 on the second, etc. until the ball is bigger than the bounce.
There is no specific height requirement for American astronauts. NASA selects astronauts based on a range of physical attributes, including height, to ensure they can perform the necessary tasks in space. Typically, astronauts selected by NASA have ranged in height from around 5 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 3 inches.
The lunar module used during the Apollo missions was about 23 feet tall and 31 feet wide. The ascent stage, where the astronauts sat, was around 10 feet high and 14 feet wide.
After the first bounce, the ball reaches a height of 24 feet. After the second bounce, it reaches a height of 12 feet, and so on. The ball will bounce an infinite number of times, each time reaching half the height of the previous bounce, getting closer and closer to the ground but never actually reaching 0 feet in height.

Astronauts entered the Lunar Module through a hatch on the side of the spacecraft. They climbed in feet first and then turned around to be seated for their journey back to the Command Module.
The total vertical distance the ball has traveled is 96 feet, calculated as 48 feet for the initial drop plus 48 feet for the sum of the bounces (24 feet for the first bounce and 12 feet for the second bounce).
