Well, he isn't, really. It's true that the effective gravity is only one-sixth that on Earth, but the weight and bulk of the space suit counteracts that. It wouldn't allow an astronaut to jump normally, for example. Plus, as sturdy as the space suits were, it would only take one fall to rip the suit and ruin your whole day.
The Moon walking astronauts did discover that it was possible, and fairly efficient, to hop with both feet at once, sort of like a kangaroo does. That was a lot faster than walking.

If there is no gravity why can an astronaut jump up and down?
Depends on where the astronaut is.If you're thinking of the moon, then an astronaut can jump up and down because there is gravity on the moon. It's just not as strong as on earth, so the astronauts can jump higher and farther.If you're talking about in deep space, or aboard the international space station, then the astronauts are not really jumping. They are pushing off the floor or walls, and will keep flying in the direction they pushed until they hit something or grab on to something.
