+MrShirye Scott is suffering from severe bloating in his upper torso and especially in his face/head area. I am sure you would not look very good either, after being up there as long as he has. Scott Kelly is a very attractive looking man, usually.
Phuc Tran The VR Sim will end and the water bubble will disapear because he is not even looking at it while playing with it he is just looking into the screen to see where it goes, everything from the nasa is coming from a virtual reality sim sry budy
What I find the most interesting is that they must actually plan ahead and bring all the props for these sorts of videos. No amazon shipping on space station (yet).
+Antonio Esquivel They were actually designed by a student at Portland State University. Here you go: www.pdx.edu/news/zero-g-ping-pong-paddles-designed-psu-student-debut-international-space-station
jamjr1972 you could probably do it if you found a plant with little needs (especially soil) and some soil to water, leave the plant near a window to capture uv rays
You can't phisicly grow a plant in space as their isn't any downward facing force the plant can't suck up the water and can't grow as the loss of gravity stops it. But it would be pretty cool to do that
Benjamin Decent I imagine it's possible.... We know plants grow towards light and plants really don't need soil, they just need a steady place to grow.... I imagine.
I just realized that because his mission is so long, by the time he comes back, most of his cells would be new and made in space, so Scott will be the closest thing to a person born in space so far :D Cool
+fuzzy in this sequence what is interesting is that his eye movements does not fallow the bubble(naturally), but constantly watching the bubble position on screen abowe. He is too close to the camera, so he can not use augmented reality contact lenses. There is a longer footage of this "event"...
+MrShirye They have had a number of co-ed missions in the International Space Station (ISS). They do not tell all that they experiment with, imagine weightless ▒▒▒.
+ajtronic Depends on the hobby.Best jobs ever for some could the guys with the shooting videos around here-FPS Russia,Hickok45, and so much more.Porn actors....
+Gurundyo Munyov Yeah, I would take FPS Russia or Hickock over space all day, every day. Space would be really cool, but for a job I'd rather work on my marsmanship skills.
+Gustavo Fonseca Mr. Kelly has NOT been alone and has NOT been in space for a whole year. He is not scheduled to stay up there for an entire year, anyway. He has been up there for 308 days, as of this post of mine - today, which is the 29th of January, 2016. NASA is just calling it a 'Year in Space'. Mr. Scott is scheduled to stay for 350 days, not 365 days. He has had plenty of company and being an astronaut IS the best job EVER! The only thing you said that was true - is that he is taking a lot of risks. Everything else was nothing but a lie. You do not seem to know even the basics about the astronauts, or the ISS.
This is pretty neat, though I'm not sure what more you could do with it besides just slowly passing a sphere of water back and forth. The surface tension wouldn't hold to anything more than a gentle push.
That's really cool. I would not have thought they would bounce off like that, I expected them to absorb all the energy and just stop in front of the paddle.
+Kasper S. What surprised me is not that they did not stick, as he clearly said they were hydrophobic. What surprised me was that the kinetic energy was not immediately turned in to turbulence upon impacting the surface, and thus leaving the ball of water floating right in front of, but not toughing the paddle. What seems to happen however is that most of the kinetic energy is conserved, and that the ball of water bounces almost perfectly elastically of the paddle.
My best bet is that in the microgravity environment the surface tension which is the strongest force acting in the ball of water acts as a skin around the outside. This skin allows it to compress then spring back like a regular ball here on earth.
if you re a 40 year old man playing with water on earth they ll probably call you a weirdo but if you do the same thing in space you get to be called an astronaut :D
I know lol, you could serve it if you were careful, and you could return it if you had a second players, but you would only have one bounce haha! So serves would have to change a bit, but overall you could have an extremely slow paced game.
I wish they went just a little deeper with the technical side of the science. Is the reason it stays an orb after impact with the paddle the polar top layer?
Why is it so short? It's like they just wanted to put out proof that there is zero gravity, instead of showing a cool game of ping pong. Like, why do we need to see this 40 seconds of no gravity.
Well that absolutely doesn't answer my question at all. You answered my question with what I already knew because you have no answer. But thanks for being little miss common fucking sense.
+species ya good guess but there will be some point where it will be independent of temperature means it perfect temperature where it wont become vapor or ice. Will the water maintain the shape in space, Because inside space station we have air, but outside it wont be there right. Please explain ...
+Ganapathy C Pretty sure it would evaporate quickly - if they are in sunlight. Without air pressure, I doubt water can stay in liquid state for very long. It would vaporize far before it had time to freeze due via its own infra-red radiating. I say blow apart like a popped bubble as every H20 molecule breaks apart because I'm guessing electron shell repulsion would be greater than molecular cohesion. Make a good experiment though.
I usually hate ISS videos, since the ISS is a tremendous waste of money that could be used for other parts of the sciences...but this...I'll allow this.
I do wonder why he was looking at a screen, and not the actual water, very strange....Great video....One day, my mamma said, they will take a video of a plane landing upside down in Australia 🇦🇺....I really can't wait for that one!!!! Wow!!! So amazing...!!
@@petterlarsson7257 She said we can't be living on a spinning ball in space because physics says so...And my dad says that water doesn't curve, ever... My uncle says anybody that believes any of it are the type that queue up for ouchi fauci's...
