I don't see all this brilliance everyone is expounding on.
He was show boating and got caught with a half assed flea flicker punch that knocked him out because his head was fully extended rearward and had no where to go...snap-goodnight Irene.
An opportunity presented itself, the guy managed to throw something out there and it stuck. Weidman's entire body was moving towards the spider just as his arm extended and made contact., so that punch had more behind than you might think.
Trying to equate it with the science that goes into a moonshot is a little funny.
