“Intuition that’s based on Earth is now a liability,” Dr. Metzger said. He gave the example of trying to push over the refrigerator in your kitchen. “It’s so heavy that a slight push is not going to push it over.” But you replace it with a piece of Styrofoam in the shape of a refrigerator, mimicking the weight of a real refrigerator in lunar gravity, “then a very light push will push it over.”
When landing, the horizontal velocity (side drifting) should be very very minimal, otherwise it would topple over.
