This is an educational comparison between a Mole Balloon falling in two different gravity environments: the moon at 1/6thG & the Earth at 1G. The purpose is to show how the balloon accelerates when it is being pulled by a force weaker than the Earth's gravity. The moon's gravity was simulated on a Zero G plane where you can also experience weightlessness (microgravity), or heaviness (macrogravity).

  • And golfing holes will need to be WAAAAAAAY farther away

  • Money well spent.

  • The Ford mustang wouldn't be heavy in a sense that a person would be bench pressing 4000 pounds, but rather because weight is dependent on gravity as a unit of measurement, the mustang would then only weigh 667 lbs. Eventually our bones would get smaller as they would not need to support as much weight and everything would go back to normal if we were on the moon for years or decades.
