I remember some time ago there was someone on this newsgroup that wanted a
videotape of the astronauts dropping a hammer and a feather on the moon to
prove that they really did fall at the same speed when there's no air
resistance.

Well, if you're still looking (I've forgotten who this was), or for others
who were curious, they showed the tape of this experiment on this week's
episode of "Space Age" on PBS (the episode was titled "To the Moon and
Beyond").  Probably you can still catch some repeats of this episode this
week, or they offer an opportunity to order videos of the episode at the
end of each show.

I know, you're all watching "Space Age" anyway.  But it just occurred to me
while I was watching and I thought someone might like to know.
