Thanks andywhit, that kind of makes sence to a bad o-level physics grade slacker. I was wondering if the lack of atmosphere would have made the things fall quicker, even given the lack of gravity. My biggest problem with it all, and i'm sure someone will put me straight on this is:
When they take off again they do so in a pod thing yeh? it gets blasted off the top of the lander, yet it doesn't seem to have any thrusters, just the intial one, I know everything weighs 1/6 gravity etc, but this thing must weigh quite a bit, especially weighed down with all that cheese and moon rock, so given the tiny amount of thrust needed to bump this thing off the moon, and how light the buggy must of been wouldn't it of been at risk of getting some SERIOUS air, it looks like they are doing some hooning in the footage.
