Canadian Major Dad is so much cooler than the American version.

Edit: also, this is shallow orbit - it's more earth than space. zero-g is fucking cool though, can't argue with that.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

Having my head and sinuses full of blood all the time sounds super-damn annoying.

 

[Samk]

Well I guess I'm looking at people doing mundane tasks in space for the next hour or so, thanks.

 

[LordCanti]

No one is ever going to let me go to space :/

I'd open a bag of chips like Homer Simpson and fuck everything up. There would be no inanimate rod to save us.

 

[Smellycat]

I like how he said "bags don't hold water in space, so instead I filled a water bag"

He meant that he can't dip the towel in a bag that has water in it, because an open bag will not hold the water.

You can read about it too!

For real, it's a great read.

That was so cool.

 

[LordCanti]

What if it takes like....an hour to get out and... you block the exit and...

Oh my God.

 

[Sibylus]

But it is all CG...

Samuel Rowbotham was the first to use the term in reference to Flat Earth research. He devised the Bedford Level Experiment to determine whether the surface of water is convex, reasoning that if the water is not convex the earth cannot be a sphere. This is how he came to the conclusion that the Earth is flat. The method has been a cornerstone of Flat Earth Theory ever since.

Jesus christ, I knew Flat Earthers were dumber than a speedbump, but this is a new low.

 

[Santiako]

At least he knows where his towel is.

fuck.

 

[Lamel]

I really wanna go to fucking space.

 

[IceCold]

In my excitement my mind may have reverted back to my six year old self with that question

Wonder if being in space would disrupt your digestive tract at all? Probably not. Also it looks like his face is slightly swollen and filled with blood, guess that's where it tends to go?

In a video he explains that on Earth you body is to used gravity pushing your fluids and blood downwards, towards your legs. So you body is regulated to push it all back up. But in space since there is no gravity, you end up with a lot of fluids in your head since nothing is pushing it back down (this also messes up your sinuses so you can't really taste food for awhile). It takes the body a number of days to regulate itself and stop pushing your fluids upwards. He also said space causes your legs to be a lot skinnier.

This video is also pretty cool (what happens to tears in space): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9S4ofhyOe8

You see the water stick to his face? In a video he talks about how they do tests on their eyes to see how weightlessness affects vision. They do ultrasounds on their eyes but instead of using jelly they use water since it sticks in place.

Also ever wondered how the bathrooms are in the space station? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkM_04Ch76E&t=4m55s

 

[Übermatik]

I'm watching all these vids with Chris Hadfield now. Guy's awesome, and damn, SPACE is awesome.

 

[Entropia]

Hadfield is pretty awesome in the ISS. Always tweeting pics of Earth from the ISS and stuff.

 

[Aggrotek]

These videos are awesome!

 

[neptunes]

Having everything drift away from you the second you let go of it seems like it would be incredibly annoying.

I can't see how that could ever been annoying....well maybe after the first 100 times after the novelty wears off and you actually try to get work done.

 

[Grisby]

Some badass water bending at the end there. Cool stuff.

 

[Suikoguy]

Before watching I made an educated guess in that it would just gather around the towel due to water surface tension, I did not however guess it would extend to the hands holding the towel.

 

[jerry113]

public outreach done right. they should skypecall classrooms more often!

 

[vidcons]

Ok, so whats the second coolest wet rag video then? I want to do a comparison.

it's a :30 video of a still image with a death metal fan standing outside a metallica concert ticket booth with a picket sign reading "posers"

A demonstration of the technique

 

[AlimNassor]

I think it's pretty damn amazing we can see this. imagine if we had youtube back when they walked on the moon for the first time.

 

[jerry113]

Yeah. This guy also tweets his photography from the ISS everyday. I think he has a constantly updated flickr account somewhere.

 

[FStop7]

Here's a gif:

Is that Space John Cena?

 

[Trojita]

Cool stuff.

Looked like he had lube all over his hand at the end

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

So freaking amazing.

 

[DrSlek]

But it is all CG...

 

[Monado Blade]

I think it's pretty damn amazing we can see this. imagine if we had youtube back when they walked on the moon for the first time.

Imagine if we had people walking on the moon now.

I guess China is the closest but I imagine if they make it there, we won't be getting awesome Chris Hadfield-style Youtube videos. All footage would probably be propaganda'd up.

 

[Thai]

amazing! Chris Hadfield is doing wonders for science up here in canada!

 

[bean breath]

Is that Space John Cena?

LMAO

 

[nomis]

I need to start watching more of these videos. Even when the mic started floating I had to wrap my head around the fact that it wasn't CG. I don't really pay much attention to this type of thing for some reason, Lol.

But it is all CG...

You're CG.

 

[bangai-o]

He has a tumblr as well. Canada's astronauts >>>> US' astronauts.

 

[gdt]

There is a Canadian space agency? And they have a guy in space?

Yeah, they have a lumberjack turn a bottle of maple syrup upside-down and stand on it, and then HE SQUEEZES IT REALLY, REALLY HARD.... SPACE!





Of course they have a space program.

 

[TimeEffect]

I dont get it. Explain plz

 

[Thai]

Oh my good grief, this space nuts video made me chuckle for several minutes.

[jstripes]

Best. Astronaut. Ever. (Of the last 35 years, anyway.)

 

[jerry113]

Yes, the international space station was funded by several countries including US, Russia, Canada, Japan, European Space Agency, and a couple others I think. So they get to send astronauts up there.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

This was awesome. I love space.

amazing! Chris Hadfield is doing wonders for science up here in canada!

Ya this guy seems super cool.

 

[i-Lo]

Serving beverages will definitely get more creative, albeit after rustling jimmies of victorians who were famous for their sense of propriety.
