Major issues about Stolas' 8-C calc

The calc has Stolas' height at 3.3 meters, but that's based on non-canonical pilot episode. Sun's density link also doesn't work, and I doubt that the source was very reliable.
Most importanty, calc assumes that Stolas takes the full friction, but Moon would actually shield most if not all of the air resistance:

And this is how scene itself portrays it too by the way, because if Stolas experienced full air resistance, he would literally not be able to walk on the Moon, as Moon would fall far faster than Stolas does. This is why a book falls onto the Earth faster than a piece of paper does, but if you put paper onto the book, then they both fall at the same time. Also, when the Moon collapses, the star is beneath him rather than in front of him, so it further him being on the opposite side of Moon.
So, I don't think the calc can be used or that it is a feat in the first place.

I found better source. It states particle density of 1.16*10^17/cm^3 in lowest part of chromosphere, which translates to density of 2*10^(-4) kg/m^3. Does it works?

Most importanty, calc assumes that Stolas takes the same force as friction of Moon does, but realistically, Moon would take the entire force onto itself and Stolas would be unaffected
Assume that you are inside very fast moving car. You open the window and put your head outside. Would you head feel air friction, or would your car take all drag onto itself?

Yeah, I found same value when looking it up.

Except in this case the scene you have to consider that Moon shields most of Stolas' experienced air resistance:

Mentioned reasons of disagreements before, he was not on the other side of the moon.
