Microgravity demonstrations

Don Pettit, a physicist and NASA astronaut, lived aboard the Space Station for 5-1/2 months in 2002-2003 and, in 2008, was a member of the STS-126.crew. During his 176 days in space, he managed to pursue a lifelong passion ­to experiment. The following videos are a small selection of Dr. Pettit experiments in how things behave in the absence of gravity. Try a few and be amazed. Some of the results are quite counterintuitive.

Here are some example videos:
