Watch the video: tears, pizza and honey in zero gravity – the coolest experiments on the ISS.
The International Space Station ISS has been permanently inhabited by astronauts since the year 2000 – who repeatedly provide insights into their everyday life in space and carry out interesting experiments in weightlessness on YouTube.
In this video you can see the top 5 most exciting astronaut videos from the ISS.
- Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques shows how honey behaves in zero gravity. He pulls and twists the sweet spread.
- German ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst interacts with the robot Cimon. The autonomously acting astronaut assistant with artificial intelligence talks to Gerst and even plays his favorite song – “Die Mensch Maschine” by the band Kraftwerk.
- This time-lapse clip shows the entire ISS crew enjoying a pizza party. The astronauts fill the pizzas and let the delicious slices of dough float around.
- The Canadian and CSA astronaut Chris Hadfield demonstrates in a self-experiment that tears do not fall on the ISS – but collect on the face of the crying person. Luckily he uses water for the experiment and not real tears.
- In another experiment, Chris Hadfield shows what it looks like when you wring out a wet rag in space. Instead of being distributed in space, most of the liquid gets onto the astronaut’s hands.
The everyday videos of NASA, ESA and CSA astronauts have been generating enthusiasm on YouTube for years. The exciting clips from space make it clear that the professionals from the various space organizations are also enthusiastic about weightlessness and their stay on the ISS. And through the clips, billions of non-astronauts will also get a glimpse of life on the International Space Station.
