I'm just letting the side conversation run, although I will say that weight matters on the coast-down due to higher density objects having a higher terminal velocity. And more momentum per drag area when the slope levels off. Not sure where a vacuum enters into it.
Thanks for doing this experiment. Do you mind uploading or sending me the source data?

That said, are you serious? There is no air in a vacuum, hence there is no drag. If there is no drag, terminal velocity is only limited by how far you have to fall until you reach relativistic speeds.
