STEMonstrations: Vestibular System

NASA Astronauts Mark Vande Hei and Shane Kimbrough demonstrate the effects of the weightless-simulated environment on their perception of motion, spatial orientation, and balance aboard the International Space Station. Watch as NASA astronaut Megan McArthur and JAXA astronaut Aki Hoshide discuss the vestibular system and learn how the human body relies on external cues to provide us with important information about our environment.

I’m watching for a better understanding of science…but I’m in tears over the way they greet the newcomers with hugs!
How inspiring for world peace!

I hope space tourism opens up. I want to be the first man to film himself doing the helicopter in zero gravity.

Freefalling perpetually into outer darkness. Sounds alot like how hell is described.

Why do you say there is no up and down on space station, but the cupola is facing DOWN?

i think your muscle at space station almost not doing anything because of no gravity.
