When you suck on a straw you generate low pressure, so that means the pressure outside the straw, by contrast is higher and so matter gets sucked into the straw. On the moon there is no atmosphere and so the pressure is zero. No matter how hard you try you cannot create a pressure of less than zero inside the straw and so no suction can occur.

Air pressure within the straw.
How do you make a straw that won't work?
Sabotaging a StrawPutting one or more pinholes in the straw, above the level of the liquid, will allow air to enter the straw at the top, and the liquid will not rise in the straw. To use this "sabotaged straw", merely switch ends (flip it over) so that the pinholes go under the liquid.

How does a straw work using Boyle's law relating to volume and pressure?
If you suck some air out of a straw, the remaining air in the straw will have to contract in volume in order to maintain the same pressure, which it will do because normal air pressure is still pressing on the liquid in which the straw is submerged. The contracting air will then draw up the liquid.
