'''Space walk''' is a colloquial name used by [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] crewmen to refer to a temporary condition that occurs to [[human]]s that spend too much time in microgravity. It is likely that their legs become unaccustomed to holding their body weight due to muscle mass lost during extended periods of free floating caused by zero gravity. As a result, when they return to an atmosphere with stable gravity, they have a strange lope to their walk for some time.<ref name="tfor">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 95''</ref> Space walk can also lead to temporary paralysis from the waist down.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 73'' (2011 edition)</ref>
'''Space Walk''' is a condition that occurs to [[UNSC]] personnel that spend too much time in microgravity. It is likely that their legs become unaccustomed to holding their body weight due to muscle mass lost during extended periods of free floating caused by zero gravity. As a result, when they return to an atmosphere with stable gravity they have a strange lope to their walk. This is called "space walk" by crewmen. First mentioned in [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]] when introducing [[Franklin Mendez]].


People known to have suffered from space walk at some point in their lives include [[Michael Stanforth]], when he briefed the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]] on the [[Covenant]] threat on [[2525#November|November 2, 2525]];{{Ref/Reuse|tfor}} [[Aaron Gibson|Captain Aaron Gibson]], when attending a top-secret meeting aboard the {{UNSCShip|Point of No Return}} on [[2531#October|October 24, 2531]],<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 44''</ref> as well as [[Tom-B292]] and [[Lucy-B091]] when they accompanied [[Kurt-051]] in the [[Project CHRYSANTHEMUM|augmentation procedures]] of [[SPARTAN-III Gamma Company|Gamma Company]] on the {{UNSCShip|Hopeful}} on [[2551#February|February 19, 2551]].<ref name="goo">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 98''</ref>
Recent developments in [[Gravity Plating]] may wipe out this condition, as [[humans]] will spend less time in microgravity.
