Episode notes
There's no atmosphere, but something can go through the air on the moon if you put enough force into it. The surface of the moon has a gravitational acceleration about 1-6th that of here on Earth. You could imagine, basically, you're going to be up in the air 6 times longer. So right now, the world record for a high jump is about 8 feet. That's all the time you have in the air, multiply that by 6, and that's the minimum amount of gain you would have.
