The Hammer and the Feather

With the lunar module and a mountain as a backdrop, David Scott recreates Galileo's famous gravity experiment in a low-gravity vacuum by letting a hammer and falcon's feather fall to the ground.

@LilyoProductions Galileo would have thought: "Holy crap, how did they get to the moon??"

[Wizardess]

I wonder what the kooks who think the whole Moon landing program was a fake filmed on a Hollyweird sound stage rationalize this little demonstration.

{^_-}

@Wizardess DONT YOU UNDERSTAND, we used the UFO technology from roswell to travel to the moon and FAKE IT ON THE MOON, that is why it looks so real THEY USED THE MOON AS THE STAGE FOR FAKING THE LANDING :O

[BorikeTheBlackDragon]

@Wizardess He would make some Cockamamie explanation on why Wires were used to pull the Objects down and how we are Idiots for believing this, or along those lines

[Dravkoja]

i came from troll science how is this troll science

0:47 the wire action is obvious.

As for the trick it self you can do it in your kitchen.

[SumocatProductions]

two secounds after the clip ended they all fell and yelled " Boston, i think we got a fucking problem here"

[KatRyleeAndTeresa]

Who else thought that they would both just float off into space...

[RebeliousMoose]

Damn. A hammer has been to the moon and I'm here wasting precious study time watching YouTube videos.

I AM LESS THAN A HAMMER.

@awesomedude70 If there were a fan that was 'blowing the feather down', the feather would've followed the turbulent, choppy pattern the fan makes instead of falling perfectly straight down.

Feathers are aerodynamically designed to CATCH the air.

Nice try though.

Next time, actually use parts of your brain that work properly. =/
