14. Without gravity, can we hop higher and do back flips more easily in space? (A K2S Question)

Without gravity, back flips are super-easy and fun, but they are a two person job. You need someone to brace up against and/or push off from so that you can build the speed to complete a flip. You definitely hop much higher in space!
