As much as we wish this was some type of anti-gravity bouncy castle, NASA's current experiments with inflatable structures are intended for slightly less entertaining implementation on the moon, where crews will use them as outposts for research, testing, storage, and living.

To justify these solutions, the team's next step is to perform studies comparing inflatable and rigid structures for crew habitats.
