Any one seen the experiment of gravity in NASA vacuum chamber?
Dropped a bowling ball and feather.

I never seen it before and it would appear neither had the guys running the chamber.

On the Apollo 15 lunar walk in July 1971, David Scott famously dropped
the hammer and feather at the same time in front of a world-wide TV
audience.

Brian would have been only three years old at the time but many of us here will remember it vividly. :lol:
