it may look like fun the deer gravity is
more complex than simply floating in
space
watch Mojo’s top 5 facts in today’s
installment we’re counting down the five
most interesting facts so we can learn
about zero gravity or more accurately
microgravity you turned off the
artificial gravity everywhere what in
the queue number five
human bodies are not meant for space as
we’re sure you can imagine human beings
are not used to floating in space and as
a result we start to look and act a
little strange when we’re in it for one
thing our muscles aren’t needed for
support in the weightlessness of space
and they start to deteriorate as a
result forcing astronauts to vigorously
workout every day to maintain muscle
mass astronauts exercise up to two and a
half hours a day six days a week to
minimize the negative effects of
spaceflight on their bodies along with
their muscles they could also lose up to
one percent of their bone density each
month spent in space other abnormalities
reported in astronauts include becoming
taller due to spinal stretching faces
becoming puffy and legs getting skinnier
due to fluid redistribution and a loss
of sensation in the bladder so that you
can use this young element for your
another one in fact without gravity
causing urine to settle at the bottom of
our bladders and trigger nerves as it
normally would astronauts often don’t
know they have to pee until their
bladder is completely full
number four we can simulate zero gravity
but not create it
while it would be fun to create zero
gravity conditions on earth there are as
of yet no means to accomplish it even
half-life 2’s gravity gun was more of a
telekinesis gun if you asked me however
there are numerous methods to create the
sensation of zero-g for a handful of
seconds most notably there is the vomit
comet a hollowed-out plane owned by NASA
which will gain altitude and then drop
at a rate which allows its untethered
passengers to experience a freefall for
about 30 seconds fun fact this is how
Ron Howard accomplished the zero-g
sequences of Apollo 13 just as creating
zero gravity is science fiction so too
is artificial gravity however there is
one theoretical design which would use
centripetal force to simulate gravity
which is why you see the rotating ring
structure in some sci-fi movies like
interstellar however even this would be
imperfect and would look more like the
famous jogging scene from 2001 a Space
Odyssey

number three zero gravity makes you lose
your appetite in a surprising side
effect of zero gravity astronauts report
having problems with their noses which
affects their appetite in zero gravity
conditions bodily fluids rise and as a
result astronauts reports stuffy noses
limiting their ability to smell and
taste food smell plays an important role
in our appetite and without it we don’t
feel the need to eat as often or enjoy
the food we are given because we can’t
taste it as much even if their noses
weren’t blocked there’s another wrinkle
food aromas don’t rise up towards your
nose in zero gravity to make up for the
lack of smell / taste astronauts use
various sauces like ketchup in Tabasco
and a lot of salt and pepper suspended
in water of course okay so this is the
NASA proof ketchup packet size of
Tabasco get it all in there number two
living in zero gravity can be torturous
the first two or three days living
gravity-free can be total torture our
spatial orientation relies on gravity
and without it our body loses all sense
of spatial awareness not unlike being
extremely dizzy when this motion
sickness is coupled with the physical
changes occurring in the body our brains
can’t handle it and we become violently
ill one down I know somebody who won’t
be having anime symptoms of space
sickness can range anywhere from simple
nausea to uncontrollable vomiting and
even hallucinations doctor please please
don’t start in with that physics shit
I’m telling you I saw it most notorious
example of space sickness was Senator
Jake Garn
who lacked formal astronaut training and
was in fact serving as a guinea pig on
space motion sickness his reaction was
so grave NASA now has an informal scale
called the Garn scale to measure
adaptation sickness with one Garn being
totally incompetent and unresponsive
most astronauts reportedly don’t get
above 0.1 Garn
this bag has to stay with me in space
for months so we want a really good barf
bag so we have one that that will really
protect us
number one the International Space
Station’s zero gravity is really just
falling endlessly
through space
[Music]
we typically hear the space travelers
experience zero gravity while on a
shuttle or the International Space
Station but contrary to the term zero
gravity doesn’t mean that there is no
gravity in space we should really say
microgravity at 250 miles or 400
kilometers above the earth which is the
orbital height of the ISS the
gravitational pull is still about 90% as
strong as on the surface 90% the Earth’s
gravity combined with the speed of an
object’s trajectory is what keeps it in
orbit around the planet so while
floating astronauts may make it seem
like gravity is completely absent the
floating is actually just their bodies
perpetually falling around the planet at
a speed of 17,500 miles per hour
so did you learn anything new about zero
gravity
sounds fun doesn’t it for more
free-falling top tens and one Garn
