My wife posited that perhaps their gravity suits kept them on the ground (which i found charming, at least she was thinking of gravity, and/or science fiction).

My wife posited that perhaps their gravity suits kept them on the ground (which i found charming, at least she was thinking of gravity, and/or science fiction). My 8 year old daughter thought for a second and said the rock would fall, then on her way out of the room said it would float (no doubt taking some time to catalogue everything she's ever seen or read about space). I'm fairly sure if the question were posed as multiple choice, they both would have answered correctly. No indictment of either (or anyone else who would answer incorrectly). After all, not many people think of physics very often on a day to day basis, particularly physics of extraterrestrial bodies.
