Wow, I didn’t know the lunar module had that kind of artificial gravity, back then. Isn’t stuff floating around, if not secured, the ISS space station, even these days? Just wondering...

If they were on the moon at the time, the moon does have 1/6 earth's gravity. So if something weighed 6oz, it would weigh 1oz.

Okay; didn’t know that. I was just amazed that the wine didn’t float-up into drops in the module. Thanks.
