Look, get the math right. The force of gravity is directly pro-portional to the two masses considered in a simple equation, and INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THE DISTANCE SQUARED.
Assume mass of body (human, average) is 60 kilograms. Mass of Moon = 7.35 x10^22 kilograms Mass of Earth = 5.98 x10^24 kilograms Distance to Moon's center: 241000 miles Distance to Earth's Center: 3,455 miles
