If you drop a pen on the moon, will it fall to the surface, float where it is, or drift away?

"Theoretically, it should float away because it has no mass, gravity does not pull the pen towards the surface at a great enough rate to make it fall, however it does have enough force to keep it floating and ultimately it will drift away."

I think my brain bleeds every time I try to read this sentence.

More theories here. I don't suggest reading through them, its mostly just people saying "it'll float away because the moon has no gravity" over and over again in different ways. I'm really only posting this thread for the quoted sentence.

And even if the pen had no mass and the moon had no gravity, it still wouldn't float away. It would just stay there.

Unless you perturbed it, then it would fly off at the speed of light.

Did you read the link? That was a test answer, as were the rest of them. People normally don't try to be ironic on tests, as graders have poor sarcasm detectors.

Speaking of which, I think mine is a little dinged atm.

Pens have mass and the moon absolutely has gravity and all you guys are idiots for thinking otherwise.

Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

There is no gravity and the moon is a socialist hoax

Good thing, too. What with the whole wonky gravity thing. Ever tried to use a normal pen writing on a ceiling. Yeah, that.
