Have you heard of the Galileo Tower of Pisa experiment?

Mass has no effect, provided air resistance can be neglected.

A stone will fall faster than a feather, but that is because of air resistance effects (drag).

In a vacuum, such as on the Moon, all objects will fall at the same acceleration rate.
