Headline Tag: Science Rating: Good Hits: 1177 Comments: 0 Hammer Throw on the Moon Hammer Throw on the Moon Jack Schmitt throws his geology hammer in the 1/6 lunar gravity before they get back inside the lunar lander. Hammer can be seen going nearly strait up above Jack and then falls off to the left and descends behind the LM. The rover is parked at the VIP site behind the lunar module. Jack emerges as a small figure, 145 meters away, to the right of the lunar module. He pleads with Gene to let him throw his geology hammer. The commander concedes his permission and warns him not to hit the lunar module or the ALSEP. Jack flings it into the air and careful observation of the clip reveals the spinning hammer in flight, barely visible against the mountain in the background, and then against the black sky. Jack is thrilled with the long flight of the hammer and walks back to the lunar module. Mar 13, 2013 4:11 PM
