1 ReplyThe space around the moon isn't a vacuum. Empty space away from large gravitational entities is [roughly] a vacuum, but the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_the_Moon]moon has an atmosphere[/url], though it is mostly negligible. The gravitational pull of the moon DOES attract gaseous particles (and apparently there is also some electrostatically levitated moon dust as well... just learned that bit) which will slow the feather more than the hammer in the same way that our atmosphere slows it on earth, just to a far lesser extent.
