I think so too. I remember seeing some footage of a feather and a hammer? being
dropped by an astronaut on the moon's surface. They both hit the ground at
the same time, which proves to mee that even a single feather is as heavy as
a hammer, so I could assume that a HUGE 25 lb bag of feathers weighs even MORE
than a bag of lead.
Of course, you actually have to believe that they landed men on the moon in the
first place...
