Why don't we just use weighted vest on the Moon or Mars to combat low gravity?

I think they use heavy shoes.

I guess so, but does that doesn't help the spine or the back muscles when it experiences low gravity.

Adding more weight increases your inertia. You could tune it so that your weight would be the same as Earth, but that would make it much harder to accelerate. You would fall at the same rate regardless

because nobody has gone to the moon in the past half century and nobody has ever gone to mars. given that the current rate of progress seems to be negative, its likely nobody ever will again unless maybe the chinese are really desperate for a political status symbol.
jwst stopped updating their status page in october and it looks like after a quarter of a century of effort and $13 billion of expense, the think is never going to get launched. they probably just built a prop telescope and pocketed the rest of cash, deposited it with hunter biden. proposed launch date is still two years off, just like it was 4 years ago

Kekked but that would be a terrible business idea. That stripper babymama of his is going to bleed him dry.

yeah, according the documents filed in that case so far, hunter handled no less than $156 million during 2014-2015 so she should collect pretty nicely if she doesn't commit suicide first.
