Many here have probably seen this video from Apollo 15 showing a feather and a hammer being dropped on the Moon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C5_dOEyAfk Here's one I'd not seen before showing the same principle being demonstrated but in much better detail: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/11/03/fascinating-scientific-spectacle-... And with that I'm off to drop something else: A ballot in a ballot box. I hope everyone here will do the same. patrick

During one of the major rocket launches in the USA, an event called bowling ball duration is filled. The person that can loft a bowling ball to the highest point is been the winner. It's basically uses a very short rocket and the bowling ball takes the place of the nosecone so it must fly extremely straight up. Sent from my iPad
