Ok, this looks like it's mean I know. Back in the 80's, some NASA people brought a cat onboard the NASA "vomit comet" for a scientific experiment to see how it would handle floating in zero-gravity (cats alway land on their feet, right?) The cat was neither amused nor happy with the experience. However, the kitty was not harmed or injured in any way. Thanks to www.spacearium.com

  • You can tell by the way the guy handles the cat, he's an asshole, and probably a cat hater.

    I think it was cool to take one to zero gravity, but you don't need to prove you're an ignorant pussy by not giving the animal a chance to acclimate and deal with a new environment on it's own.

    No, that's not enough for you to observe, you gotta fling it into a wall, probably like you did to all the cats you even saw on the earth. The cat's not the pussy.. you are...

  • Screw NASA!

  • @CrimsonCrowess

    Yeah, they were a little rough with the kitty. But it's still hilarious. And I don't find it too cruel.

  • @valzilla2000 one of those "small nudges" was pretty rough. I say it's mean, bordering on cruelty.

  • @humand1saster exactly! how is hurling the poor thing at the wall (WHICH HE IS) not mean??

  • @humand1saster

    to see if the cat reacts in micro gravity to incoming surfaces with a turning reflex, similar like it would do under regular conditions when it drops to the floor..

  • gravity cat it not ammused

  • @valzilla2000 But riding the rollercoaster is your choice, however being thrown in the air isn't this cat's choice.

  • @ChloroformUrMother

    Same thing happens to me when I'm on a really fast rollercoaster...

  • @TheBdog113 moron
