Nonsense! With just the right height, and just the right jume, I’m sure it’s possible! I heard from a friend of an uncle of mine that it was done in front of King Louis the 14th, not once, but twice in one year!
OK, I admit I’m really tired…but I’m confused…which end is which?
I thought the cork end of a shuttlecock was the head… and the feathers were the tail,,,and that it always landed on its head (before falling over.)But these guys are backwards…with feet on the “head” end, and tailfeathers like a crown.
They can’t land on the cork from either direction…either feet or feathers hit the ground first.
I’m guessing they’re trying to land on the feathers, but now that’s the “head”?

It is possible on the moon! The vacuum condition would not create the air drag we experience on earth. Another first for NASA?

That’s shuttlecock nonsense.

They’re Indians from the Fugarewe tribe…

Attach a slice of buttered toast to their head (buttered side up) and that might help.

I’d say they’re airheads

That’s ridiculous — the “head” end is weighted, so it should always land on its head.
