Where is your physics analysis?
If I weigh about 30 pounds on the moon, all else being equal, I am pretty sure I could jump higher than what you assert. In fact, I posit that it would be linearly proportional to the gravitational force. So if I can jump one foot on earth, I should be able to jump six feet on the moon. Because the ONLY thing keeping me on the moon is the mass of my body.

There are simple formulas for acceleration, or acceleration due to gravity. The velocity you can reach (v) is dependent on the acceleration due to gravity (a) over a certain distance (d). Mathematically, v2=2ad. If the velocity is always the same, it cancels out and you have d=1/2a.
