    I'm not sure just who they are...ie which Apollo Lunar Mission it was (11?) but they are demonstrating that Gravity exists on the Moon. If it was 11, then it will be Neil & Buzz..

    You're getting warm ... it was Apollo 15. But they would have already known that there was gravity on the Moon, since the Moon is massive.

    Galileo dropped a cannonball and a musket ball simultaneously from a tower, and observed that they hit the ground at nearly the same time. This contradicted Aristotle's long-accepted idea that heavier objects fell faster.

    Gravity of the situation is equal to all the masses.

    Actually, Aristotle was right, but the difference is so small that it can't be measured by the naked eye or with current instruments.

    Just like in the old Wide World of Sports, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
