Offbeat space experiments

[8hulu]

space patticake :)

[asdflkj4649]

ちょ、配線気をつけて！

[Vei2aC]

LOVE the pushups on the ceiling or IS it the ceiling xD haha

[neoContraVo]

open the hatch, I wana see what's out there

[thenofxer]

FOR SCIENCE!!

[slugfly]

This is so awesome!  That guy knows his job is way cooler than all us muck-crawlers.

[SableSpike747]

I can do one handed push ups!

...

in space.

[Mastertim2006]

4:42 this is what im doin on my office chair every day :D

[mcclayn08]

I really want to see what a bird does in offbeat space !

Please take one with you next time !

[uchchina]

Nice pushups...must've taken loads of effort ;)

[caganb]

How do boobs react?

[MrDromaeosaurid]

@caganb They get bigger.

[dave8386]

I just can't wrap my head around the fact that when he's upside-down to the camera, he still feels exactly the same. I keep thinking "oh man he must have a head rush right now" but it's like oh right...

[creativeagriculture]

I found the original of this movie. See "jaxachannel"s "Try Zero-G".

It provides longer version of this movie with narrative(Japanese).

And it shows that he is doing it with requests program named "Funny Space Experiments".

[creativeagriculture]

Japanese Radio Exercise at first  lol

[G3org3Master]

They should introduce a bird into 0-Gravity.

[ThermalHD]

If you fart will the fart fly weightless too.. Hehe.

[midierror]

anti gravity overhead kick looks awesome !

[mehigh2marsiansky]

extremely cool vid :D music skylab

[dopod696]

а главное саунд очень подходит!

[180DegreeMason]

He should have done the push-ups with his feet in the air so he just lifts his whole body up with one hand.

[TheEljanooo]

lol xDD

[legoflamb]

That was starting to look like fits of boredom towards the end. I wonder how long the novelty factor lasts in long term microgravity for astronauts who have worked all their lives to get into space?

[N33dM04rM3t4l]

The music couldn't be more perfect

[kulemv]

looks like fun

[dranzer17]

LOL :D

[redrish18]

now, that is science!!

[morpher44]

very nice. Excellent.

[teebeutelVERGESSER]

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag Jenny Muller!

[teebeutelVERGESSER]

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag Jenny Müller!

[startkapital]

its not in space its a parabolic flight

[asphyxoctane]

No, it's the International Space Station. If I'm not mistaken, STS-127 that is lifting off Sunday, July 13th is supposed to bring him back, and replace him with an American.

[simonreij]

what's parabolic flight supposed to mean, dickhead? that it's in a parabol-esque flight around the earth? well most people would call that being in orbit and would call that being in space. dickhead

[aramchek]

You're a blithering idiot.

[simonreij]

and if you're talking about those planes taking a zero-g dive for a couple of minutes you're a dickhead, cos if you watch any of those 1) they're obviously inside an aeroplane, not a space station -unless you're suggesting someone has rigged out a plane to look like a space station, the implications of which would make you a dickhead for thinking that, and 2) those zero g drops are pretty imperfect, lots of drifting and swayin about and kind of bein slightly stuck to one wall for a bit and so on

[joachim2464]

this is koichi wakata on the international space station inside the kibo module. Not an aeroplane

[themackis]

So these are the experiments they carry out in space . . . .

[sansobocinski]

push ups!

[arbonac]

Shawn Johnson's got nothing on this guy!

[mutatedjellyfish]

What's the music? Anyone?

[moalisiddiqui]

It's Seashell by Skylab from their CD "Skylab#1" :) It's from the Pink Tentacle site that I got the info, however, I can't for the life of me find it on iTunes Canada! :(

[existentialvoid]

it was for a science show boradcasted to schools for science class about space and gravity. The first part is where he is doing 'radio excercises' which we do every morining in the school grounds (or at least we did when I was a kid, and the second part is him demostrating the ack of gravity and its imaginative possibilities. . . all for the kids.

[SamCMusic]

...wonder if that guy got fired after slacking off on the job...

[NexIuguolo]

awesome!

[gheldon]

I think I could do that kinda stuff about all day and be happy. Him flying in on his 'magic carpet' was the best part. Also...folding clothes in space appears to be a bitch.

[xox945]

i could do that and entertain myself for months.. lol

[thehilitereel]

I think you have to be a child at heart to go into space, brave too I guess, but it's definitely a fun aspect of this.

[BoogieFlicker]

Now that's what you call some SERIOUS boredom...

[protatto]

damn this is awsome

[nathanzoeller]

why did they have that fan in space lol

[bakalakpal]

theyre japs they bring those things everywhere

[marcer7]

he was doing this while everyone else was sleeping right?

[Skeetpickle]

I don't see why he didn't push off really hard to see how fast he could fly across..maybe with some added padding. I always wanted to try that thing at the end though..propelling yourself with your breath. Sweet video.

[JarrydGothix]

I lol'd at 4:04

[Arhyelox]

jkahjkahjkahjakxDD ta de loool!! chino tuniao osioso xD... ¬¬ ^^ xD O.O

[PlainJenny]

This is boring

[knoose]

you must be very simple minded...

[xzc426]

bet you everyone else is like, man where's that dude when you need him. lol.

[FallonBill]

Of course some couple is going to try it sooner or later anyhow

[bassboylowg]

no gravity looks so fun

[Sedated3]

you know what would be fun in space?....

fucking

[biglipsjim]

closest thing we can get to is underwater

[chives422]

not at all, because since humans sweat a lot during sex, in normal Earth conditions it evaporates, but in space it never goes away so soon you'd be surrounded by your own sweat and "other fluids"

[Dirtboy101]

Newtons 3rd law of motion would make it VERY hard... Every action has an equal and opposite reaction... You and your partner would go flying in opposite directions...

[JarrydGothix]

Bungie cords.

[Sedated3]

right.... assuming neither of us had arms...

[helpsmoshout]

yeah, but it would eventually just be like a snowglobe in there

[rdelaware]

bohemian grove

[rohag735]

How come Captain Kirk and crew didn't float around?

[itsPudgeRUN]

lololol seems so fun

[drawingfreak1234]

that would be so funny if he ran into the wires and cords and riped um out and then got tangled in um, ROFL

[freesk8]

Your tax dollars at work.

[manoftnuva]

I would see the experiment with electric motor in space. How it would turn around, base against the spinning bolt or only the bolt spinning...?

[ELuhn]

They'd both spin in opposite directions, though the base would probably spin more slowly because it has more mass.

In space, stuff like this actually has to be worked out. That's why a power drill costs NASA $100,000.

[manoftnuva]

Thx 4 ur respond =) You know, I have an idea how to move in spaсe-ship... Exactly, with help of non-exhaust device =)

[roryhawk]

Is this in the ISS?

[767er767er]

I want to go to space!

[IroniaRussia]

physical exercise

[spaceman3098]

cool

[alexandrecreep]

whats the song?

nice video btw

[asphyxoctane]

Skylab - Seashell.

[AllowExpression]

Great vid, made me laugh. :p

[TheyLive251]

I would masturbate in space.

[denmayday]

You won't catch your sperm LOL

[TheyLive251]

I know. I'd let it float around.

[teacherphysics]

i want to go to outer space to butt they said i was to white

[iforgotaboutit]

Now, they need to make a room full of water and swim in it in space.

[Vovanium]

Вот япошка балуеться в космосе

[PUEBLOPLUG13]

i like this beaT

I BUSTED A SIK FLOW

BIATTTCH

[IbragimKZ]

COOL!

ARIGATO!

[FUSHI4]

"Hold on we're getting a transmission from Wakata........what the fuck is he doing?"

[syzygy58]

fushi4: Looks like he's doing some workout just to test the new suit material. You sweat, it absorbs and dries by itself. And best thing, you wear those at least for a week without any change but still comes out clean and fresh smelling. Cloth is embedded with ionising materials to combat smell caused by bacteria from the skin.

[FUSHI4]

it was supposed to be a....nvm you ruined it

[sumfinunique]

LOL.

[blairfc]

Space Five!

[CocaColaMann]

I want his job.

[Tjita1]

@CocaColaMann I don't. I don't fancy being locked in a metal box for half a year, with no air outside of it, zooming around the planet at 28000 km/h and having to attach a hose to your dick if you want to go to the toilet, and having checklists for exactly everything, probably even including wiping your own ass.

[huggkruka]

The music makes it.

[catha86]

I don't want to go out to space but I want to experiance the zero gravity for atleast 1h

[oofa3]

you can go on a plane that does a dive and experance it, bet its really expensive tho

[manzha]

damn you lucky man

[zhasni]

gREEEAt

[36enes36]

lol^^

[groefzor]

lol that high five

[sanchez2673]

2:20

Magic Carpet Ride ! :)

[erikandrewbaca]

my turn!

[wahoo696]

samurai dream

[evilwear818]

My all time dream is too go too space.!

[iforgotaboutit]

Well, I mean they're inside the shuttle flying around. Paper airplanes don't flap wings.

[Stuckherewithyou]

I wonder how smoke would react in there.

[vveerrgg]

all that free time in space. looks like fun... but i suspect it would get boring after a while.

[memella]

Hey whats the song? I likes it.

[molumen]

Me too!

[XoholRecords]

there IS gravity. They are just all falling at the same rate.

[whatevtube]

No there is microgravity and the effects are negligible on the body.

[iforgotaboutit]

They need to send birds to space. It would be awesome to see how they fly in zero-gravity.

[Hmchammer]

they wouldn't be able to because there is no air for them to push against.

[agtheking]

I think iforgotaboutit meant so send them up in a closed environment where there is air.

But i don't think the birds would be able to fly very well since the wings are made do give upwards momentum so they wouldn't be able to move down since they need gravity for that.

[whatevtube]

I think putting a bird up there is a pretty terrible idea, lol.

[iforgotaboutit]

I guess we'll have to wait until they DO send a bird up there to see if they fly better/worse. MY theory is they would fly better because of less gravity, and they only push air to move (which doesn't fall in space)

[jakegillum]

they sent bees to space... the bees flew.

[XmasterjamoX]

birds push air to gut altitude, once they get altitude they just glide, you can only glide if you're descending, you can only descend if there is gravity. my best guess is that they would just float around and when they flap...well they'd just spin out of control and it would be fun to watch =)

[molumen]

there IS air (how would astronauts breed without it?), there is no gravity.

[whatevtube]

Just make a paper airplane up there and throw it and you'll have an idea of how a bird would react.

[ELuhn]

I have read (though I cannot cite) that they did bring birds up, to see how they do. They had trouble at first, but once they figured out the new dynamics they got along very well. Bird poop must have been an issue, though.

[piroblaster]

did he die?

[fraseryt]

That's pretty cool. makes me wonder how martial arts would have to be changed to work in micro-gravity.

kung-fu isn't any good if you fly off a guy when you kick him.

and grapling would be blood hard with no floor to work with...

[olivercromwel]

damn that guy must be bored up there

[darkshdwstlkr]

this video made me understand more about space than any video from ISS before.

[masterdequo]

imagine doing LSD in space

[stubert311]

i'll file this under reasons we need gravity plating.

[brad3378]

Japan's tax dollars at work?

[crsh1976]

It costs $10k/minute to transmit videos from space like this, this is possibly one of the most expensive non-pro/home videos on Youtube. :P

[Arfilion]

can you please cite that?-> "It costs $10k/minute to transmit videos from space like this"

Sorry but you are terribly wrong.

satellite TV/internet works the same way, the satellite sends you the data and you receive it trough your dish. this works exactly the same.... its just a normal communication method.

[bakalakpal]

and btw they didnt even need to transmit it back to earth they couldve just recorded it and when they landed probably burn it on a dvd and why would it cost $10000 to transmit this anyways i mean satellites are in space and i think it might be easier in some ways

[MstrShannon]

Tax dollars MORE than well spent =)

[molumen]

Actually it's tax YEN (he's a JAXA astronaut). And yes, they are well spent since he has carried out a series of offbeat space experiments proposed by the Japanese public. Space exploration needs popularization too, you know?

[blueshiftX]

yeah... theres not a whole lot to do in space for us sausage links, is there?

[littlestworkshop]

I told you to play with balls in the house!, err space station

[snmp1612342]

flying carpet ftw!

[deadfoxxy]

sorry! i meant to digg you up, but accidentally dugg you down.

[FullMetalllll]

One more digg up before normalcy is restored

[marymactavish]

I want to be an astronaut!

[olegruss]

That's funny :)

[LucidDreamTricks]

Looks like fun!
