In 1971, during the final Apollo 15 moonwalk, Commander David Scott performed a live demonstration of Galileo’s theory that all objects fall at the same rate regardless of mass. Scott simultaneously dropped a feather and a geological hammer on the moon, where the lack of air resistance allowed both objects to hit the surface at the same time. This experiment visually confirmed Galileo’s theory in a vacuum, providing a reassuring and memorable moment for viewers and validating a fundamental principle of physics.
