It really sucks. Though it is a very cool place to do serious scientific research. Research like dropping a bowling ball and a bunch of feathers at the same time.

A similar demonstration was done by Apollo 15 astronaut David Scott while on the moon.

For a little more knowledge you can stop by !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! where Rhett Allain discusses object falling in a vacuum and speeds up the vacuum chamber drop to show how fast they fell in real time instead of the dramatic slo-mo as shown in the BBC video.
