RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

THINGS I LEARNED THIS WEEK

Twelve men have walked on the moon!  No women!  ET's, maybe!  Evidently, someone is keeping track.

In case you were wondering, the relative mass of the moon (which creates it's gravitational pull) is just 0.17 times that of Earth.  Standing on a bathroom scale on the moon, I would weigh about 42 lbs.  It is obvious to me now that I'm not overweight - I just have my scale in the wrong location.

How much would you weigh on Jupiter?
