For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Lunar gravity is only one sixth of that on earth so the astronaut would only depress the trampoline with one sixth of the force on earth, propelling him vertically by a very much reduced amount. BUT - once projected vertically, gravity being less, the astronaut would not decelerate as rapidly as on earth. Without doing the sums (it is too late at night), I would predict that an astronaut on a lunar trampoline would rise to a somewhat similar height to that on earth - certainly not into space.
