The rotation of the moon around its axis is about fourteen feet per second.

Since the moon has no atmosphere that means if an astronaut jumped for one second the ground would move by fourteen feet beneath them.

That was of course confirmed by all of the NASA videos of Apollo astronauts on the moon.

Lol.


Hint: Somebody is lying.

I have 15.18 feet per second. Check your abacus.

You forget that the astronaut is also moving with the Moon at 15.18 fps.
Why would the Moon having no atmosphere affect the astronaut’s jump?
