Floating in Zero Gravity is fun, Earthlings! (BBtv)

BBtv online: http://tv.boingboing.net. In today's episode of Boing Boing tv, we float around in zero gravity. With me on this Zero-G weightless flight are Intel Chairman Craig Barrett; my friend Sean Bonner from metblogs; and a bunch of science teachers from grade schools and high schools throughout the United States who were on board to conduct microgravity experiments for the kids back home. As you watch, keep an eye out for the floating lego robot, a flying pig, and the barfing guy who is totally barfing for reals -- the rest of us did not, btw, I don't get sick in space.

What you see in this episode is what it feels like, guys, and it feels awesome. -- Xeni Jardin.

Misleading title is misleading.

Not ZERO gravity.

2:00 - I couldn't find the science rocks anywhere? Are they hiding :3?

LITTLE GRAVITY.

[Getamped75]

there is gravity....

The Vomit Comet!

@thepaintballer1017 umm, yes there is 0 gravity in space. to be more precise, in some of space but not everywhere. for example, on the moon there is gravity from the moon itself but its considerably less then earth. if youre deep enough in space away from any of the gravitational pull of other celestiel bodies then you would technically be in zero g. if there was gravity in space then the shuttles wouldnt need thrusters on the front of the shuttle to stop.

@PimpMatt0 It is 0 "ZERO" (NO) GRAVITY! Because they go around freely.

[DubstepKittyKoda]

another thing to add to my bucket list(; <3

Bonner?

Whats a bonner

[superwawisuperstars]

I dont think people that old should be doing this. They are at risk for heart attack, which would sue the company, then, no more good stuff.
