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

I have 15.18 feet per second. Check your abacus.

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

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?

According to scientists the only reason we humans are not affected by the Earth rotating about its axis at hundreds of miles per hour is because of the atmosphere.

If they are correct—and the Moon has no atmosphere—then the Moon would move (a lot!) beneath the feet of any astronaut who jumped for one second.

Do the research and confirm all of this for yourself.

You will be rewarded.
