This is fairly bizarre. The majority of this thread has consisted of your "vacuum" principle being cited, somebody responding saying that wind resistance applies, followed by a counter response repeating the "vacuum" principle. I don't think anybody has disagreed with the principle. The only question is whether or not it directly applies to the original question without the need to consider air resistance.
