James Burke explains zero-gravity (BBC Television)

[renorhino156]

I like his casually laying down pose. We watched this in Physics class and I had to come back to it because it's just so cool.

He sounds like the grandfather in Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory, when they float up. xD

I was lucky enough to meet James Burke once. A true gent.

I suppose the closest you could get to it without getting on that aeroplane is to go scuba diving - or skydiving.

A typical BBC journalist, willing to do anything, .A once in a liftime opportunity ,a truely amazing experince im sure.well done James

Ah, the old KC-135 'Vomit Comet'.

Excellent footage, particularly the tracking bit.

There can't be too many ways to handle one's self with poise and erudition in zero gravity; you more than managed it, sir.

How could someone not enjoy this video? It's showing such a unique situation. I would love to experience this! It's their loss. 5 stars!

Probably a moon hoaxter

The same is true, by the way, of most of the other videos in this sequence.

[JamesBurkeWeb]

Hmm... (6*5 + 1) / 7 = 4.43

Exactly the rating on this video! What a coincidence... maybe I should just disable ratings if some jerk is running around 1 starring everything.

Maybe that jerk, instead of hiding, could offer an explanation as to why this particular clip is such a horrific, piece of garbage?
