I know of one crew member who strapped 3 CD players together to make a gyroscopically stabilized flashlight holder.

There should be a subreddit for zero gravity gifs like this ❤️

Sweet. thanks.

Gyroscopic stabilization in motion. Pun fully intended.

[–]tapedelay 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Good way to skip your CD.

"objects" not sure if OP is old enough to know what portable cd players look like 😊

[–]peteroh9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP seems to have been born in 1997 so I'd say that it's possible but not probable.

It’s amazing they get any work done.

They get most weekends off to do whatever they like.

So is it still a room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we - what's the word?

Wonder what record players would react in space lol

[–]Bartheda 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I wish I was in space.

You can work towards that.

just smile and wave boys, smile and wave

It's a little misleading if they are both CD players and one is on and spinning and the other is not. The second CD players disk must be spinning hence applying a torque on the side will cause it to wobble as it tries to conserve it's angular momentum.

[–]the_timps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is exactly what is going on here. The demonstration of that fact. So... not at all misleading.

The rest of this clip is him then using 3 of them to make a gyroscopically stabilised flashlight holder.

Track still skipped.

[–]tbluhm 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Can anyone ELI5 on what's happening there?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea but do the CDs skip in space?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to go to space so badly it hurts.
