I don't know how you guys can't see this.
Look at :37-:39.
The feather clearly bounces and hits the ground again.

I'm sure I don't know. Do you? Have you ever seen a feather bounce? I haven't. Or are you asking out of curiosity? Surely you wouldn't be trolling....
Feathers don't bounce anywhere.

Well, let me start by saying I am going to have to put a set claim on my posts Somehow.. blah I shouldnt care, idiot will be idiots and they can post as me all they want.
I am sure people will know better.
No I have never seen a feather bouce, and nor have you.. so why would I be trolling to say this?
Wow it shows I should shut up, kinda scary..
have at it you clods.
Here are now shown the hammer and feather experiment on the Moon, where the idea is suggested that it is very easy to fake. Then David Percy gives us firstly his "ahaa!" moment by showing the clip of "From the Earth to the Moon" where there is an edit! Followed by a doctored experiment of his own on Earth.

Why does the feather twitch and move at :20?
Some of you may say it's because of his thumb moving it, that would look like it if that was the case. But, it's not. The feather looks like it's an extension of the thumb. Look at the bottom of the feather at 0:20, you can see the bottom part of the feather re-flexing as it's being pulled by something, it's not his thumb.
Why does the feather bounce at the end when it hits the ground? It jumps at least a few inches before it hits the ground again. Feathers wouldn't do that, but a plastic one would have.
Another thing, if you say a feather and hammer can't hit at the same time on earth, your sadly mistaken. All you would have to do would put a metal rod inside the feather, or create your own *almost* vacuum chamber.

I've watched this video over and over again. Watched the zoomed in version as well. The thumb, as you can see in the video, looks like the white extension part of the thumb. It's not, because the bottom part of the feather reflexes. A thumb wouldn't do that.

The force of the feather impacting the ground does not generate enough of a reaction to overcome gravity or the air resistance.
