Of course, the lunar conspiracy theorists will have fun with this one.  |
Hm...looks like they already did....or at least SOME kind of nut theorists.. (for context please refer to youtube comments regarding said video). Just did some skimmg, mostly angry flaming and name calling...lol
feathermoons's question at the start of thids thread brings up a neat thought. Let us pretend that the moon DIDNT have any gravity (odd, i know, but hypothetical). I figure NASA is a bunch of smart guys, they would have known this. Ok. So how does one stay on the moon in this condition? Forces! even a tiny trickle of a gas jet towards they sky would probably be sufficiant to hold the spacecraft to the ground. As for the astronauts, just hope they dont jump to hard..lol!
Hooray for the real moon having gravity, eh?
