WITHOUT air resistance . . . like on the moon, or in a tank with all
the air removed from it . . . a feather, an orange, and a watermelon
will all fall at the same rate. 

So will a piece of tissue, a mosquito, school bus, a rock, and a cruise
ship. 

If you drop them all at the same time, then they will all hit the ground
at the same time.
