Not zero gravity on the moon - just less than the earth. Don't you
remember pics of the astronauts leaping?

Well, the moon is in free fall. If you were where it is you'd feel as if
you were in zero gravity too. The astronauts of course feel the

As does the dust they kick up, as you should always point out to one of
