When Zenon and Dasha are coming back from having the scary encounter with Selena, Zenon drops her zap pad. It falls about the speed it would on Earth, however since the moon's gravitational pull is less, it would have fallen drastically more slowly. Notice how long it took Zenon and Dasha to fall and I'm guessing that they weigh about 105 pounds and 80 pounds (respectively). An object that had a lighter weight would have fallen more slowly. Drop a five pound weight and then drop a feather, which one takes longer to hit? Even if the Moon is in a vacuum. The zap pad would have taken longer to hit the moon's surface because the weight had been reduced coming from the Earth to the Moon and it wouldn't fall at the same speed on the Moon as it would have on Earth. [While you are right in that it would fall slower on the moon as evidenced by the astronaut landing. Galileo proved that by dropping different weights off the Leaning Tower of Pisa that different weights do fall at the same speed making gravity a constant which debunked the beliefs of Aristotle. Zenon, Dasha and the zap pad should all fall at the same speed.]

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
