GoPro Goes Weightless: This Is What Camera-In-Zero-Gravity-Bubble Looks Like
Everyone's favorite camera-on-a-stick boldy goes where no camera-on-a-stick has gone before... inside a water bubble aboard the International Space Station...
Bloomberg explains...
During Expedition 40 in the summer of 2014, NASA astronauts Steve Swanson and Reid Wiseman -- along with European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst -- explored the phenomenon of water-surface tension in microgravity on the International Space Station.
That's a fancy way of saying they had some fun with a GoPro and a blob of water.

We assume this will be good for a 10 point pop on Monday's open...

My faith in humanity has been rekindled.
We believe this is perfect allegory for our times, over-hyped bubble companies floating in space...
GoPro is in a bubble.
Special thanks to the international community for bringing our astronauts into space.
There is no ISS, no frigging space program, all one big Iron Mountain driven bunch of fakery....
Check this out....

No... there is a space program courtesy of those "evil" Russians... so astronauts can play with water bubbles in a vain attempt for NASA to justify its existence in a nation more concerned with fake beer, dirty whores, and balls...
People are so desparate to believe in some magic.
Have you ever seen the "team" that dropped the MArs rovers on mars?
Have you? If you cannot see the fakery, dumbness and someone laughing all the way to the frigging bank n(with taxpayer money, billions of it) you have to have your brain examined.
There is no ISS, it's all hollywood. ALL OF IT.
True science does nto allow for the moon landings onwards. Only LEO (Low Earth Orbit).
You've been had, I was had, now I've been un-had and cannot believe I was had.
All a bunch of shit. Check out the press conference of Armstrong and company. Poor guys, having to lie through their teeth.
Sorry to burst any "bubbles" here.
Read the report from Irin Mountain and get a clue.
I don't care if anything is real or fake - all I know is that forces that have the power of mass 'official' information dissemination will tell you untruths.
It's up to the individual to decide what is real and what is not. Very stupid to hold certain things as true, when they can damn well be just as untrue. Blind faith in binary choices leads to disaster.
"There is no ISS, no frigging space program, all one big Iron Mountain driven bunch of fakery...."
Apu's right, it's all lies, western lies!
Same thing with that germ theory of disease....pure bullshit meant to sell yankee medecine. Just last week I was in DC.....bodies floating in the Potomic as Congress waded in for their morning baths. Just like the Ganges. Without Hollywood, America looks exactly like Bangalore, but with more cows on buns and fewer in the street.
But someday, when the last mystic with a sliderule dies, my America will achieve a critical mass of Visual Basic programmers and reach for the stars.
Typical, when your reality is challenged, go below the belt.
Hint: truman Show.... ;-)
And if you think Yankee (read German) pharma is not capable of a few lies, you DO need your head examined...
Your "Ebola" vaccine will save you....
Search for Dr. Mary's Monkey my friend and exit the matrix.
Have you ever seen the "team" that dropped the MArs rovers on mars?
Yes actually, good friend worked on the antenna system for one of the Mars rover programs. He had a Phd in Aeorospace Engineering from Colorado School of Mines and worked for Martin Marietta. He was quite real as were his wife, child and the two very nice telescopes in his backyard.
No, I'm sure they were all holograms. Or somesuch.
And I was part of the group that corrected the "A" computer on Curiosity. Helpful tip: never use a windows laptop to reformat a flash memory card on a LINUX platform ( and talking someone over the phone through editing etc/fstab with fucking vi, with a 6 minute time delay between keystroke results is a cast iron bitch ).
I suggest our esteemed poster stick to Ayurvedic medicine. The best way to clean wounds is to have it blessed at a temple! Disinfectant is also a western conspiracy!
Injoy your open source simulated illusion mate...Simulacra.....
Reality is where you go after you die.
ORI
Dude I really appreciate your balls. A few people are starting to wake up to this bullshit and it's staggering. I saw that Mars rover press conference and it was pure, 100% actors. The guy in charge couldn't answer the most basic tech questions.
The Mars Curiosity rover is staged, and it is located in the fucking Mojave desert right outside LA. People are analysing the shit out of the pics coming out of this thing and are like...nuh-uh. No way are these images from Mars.
I salute you ORI for talking some unpopular sense!
Truth hurts. Fortunately it only hurts the BULLSHIT ARTISTS who have taken over my government.
Appreciate your standing up here with me Bro, where the air is clear!
ANd yes, that (those) press conferences....good grief....the cowboy/harley bude with the slick hair.....enough siad, we know... ;-)
Hey there ORI...

Hey Rusty, yeah, on and on.....a colossal JOKE...on us! :-)
Check out the link in my post above, hours worth of debunking fun....
Thanks ORI, passed by there long ago. Hope you are well, cheers!

Haaah...love the Ninja man :-)
Thanks Rusty, helps to keep one sane, the company of other sane people!
Just chuck the thing into the sea or a pool, same result.
Why am I so unimpressed by this? What the hell does anyone expect when you stick a small camera in a blob of water in zero (or near zero gravity)?
What a bunch of children we're becoming.
DavidC
Life is fun.
David, shut up and eat your peas.
And, if he won't eat his peas, introduce him to some Wookie cream pie.
You're one sick dude. +1 for you buddy.
Yes, OK, I deserved that!
DavidC
But don't you understand? Space exploration is the only way our species can survive. Once we use up our planet, our best chance at furthering our species' DNA is to blast off to another rock, thousands of light years away. Failure is not an option. This is our destiny.

Re: Why am I so unimpressed by this?
This is NASA. You are not supposed to be impressed. You are supposed to feel good about yourself, provided you are a muslim.
Or a taxpayer?
Wow.
West Ham United supporters, no doubt.
Warms the cockles of my heart that my tax money is going to astronauts playing with weightless water bubbles containing a transitory tech-bubble gizmo with a levitated stock valuation.
I wish I'd phrased my comment as well as you did ebworthen, excellent!
DavidC
Your tax dollars were spent 20-30 years ago. This is paid for by those born six or more generations from now.
LOL, yes, in 100 years they'll look back at this by-then pathetic technology and say: WTF? We each owe Sixteen quintillion NuBux for THAT???
dupe.
Remember when Obama retasked NASA to deal with mohammedian relations?
Don't laugh. This is how Tang got it's start.
What is that joke about astronauts using ball-point pens and cosmonauts using pencils?
Actually, I think it's kind of cool. You guys sure are a bunch of grumpy old farts and lost your sense of wonder.
Down arrows in 3....2....1....
I think it's cool, too, but not on my tax-paying ass dime.
Compared to the other stuff your tax money goes too...this is nothing. Your tax money also goes to killing women and children in far off lands, nobody ever seems to care about that. All those politicians are on your tax dime too as well as all of Obamas golf time, MOOchelles pedicures and the kids expensive school, designer clothes and chaffuer.
Those poor guys in space probably get pretty bored. I don't mind footing the bill for a little entertainment. Besides, I own GoPro stock.

You must be new around here - we're been constantly bitching about that as well.
Personally think it's pretty cool, and I have no problem with this. I'd love to experience zero gravity in space. I think it would be fun too.
Your tax dollars at work.
Wringing a washcloth on the ISS.
much cooler than sticking a camera into water.
Banksters heads in a water blob in space would be much more interesting
is that the best they can come up with for the idiots at the ISS to do?
looks more like a three way marketing stunt. shit.
Peak science?
It's actually much worse than that brother Joe...

That site is full of LUNATICS.
Et tu, ORI? Cmon man, that site's a little much, no?
Bumbu
Yes when reason and logic fail, go straight for the ad hominem.
Then, after you've run out of breath, click on ORI's link and actually pay attention to the data.
Peak science has been hit in a number of areas. Take the electronics industry. For the past 20+ years there has been no innovation, just shrinking the period of square waves... There is really no mystery why the tech giants lay off, there's no innovation.
cheech
Why does the stuff get cheaper all the time?
Is that..."bad?"
Buy yerself a 3-D printer and show us how it's done, then.
You guys are just jealous because you didn't get in on GPRO when it was half its current price. I see big things ahead for it. Millions of bike riders and other sports activities will eventually have this technology in use. Wait till the Military starts using it on the helmets of all combat soldiers. Imagine if Gpro was on the helmet of the guy who shot Bin Laden. Perhaps it was but we won't ever see it at least not till Obama and his Muslims loving regime is gone.
Next you'll be telling me it is the must have diagnostic tool for every proctologist on the planet.
I really don't need to watch a video of that either.
If gopro was on the helmet of the guy who shot the real OBL, then it's worth its weight in gold (or some other more precious substance) -- since it would have the ability to go back in time to when he actually died in the caves of Afghanistan. Even with weekly dialysis, renal failure patients rarely survive 10 years, and certainly not in a flat in Pakistan without any medical equipment.
Camera on a stick in space is still a camera on a stick
Also, bubble recursion.
I could get the same shot taping my phone to the dog's head when he drinks from the toilet
There's a pissing fetish joke in there somewhere.
That's just a tiny version of the swimming pool I've wanted since I was about 8 years old and figured out what a zero-G swimming pool would look like.
Changes "swimming laps" a bit (in a 25 meter sphere of pure H2O). The main trick is, turning around (after swimming through the middle). Trying to swim around the outside surface may be even more difficult as your velocity vector probably sends you flying out into space due to insufficient surface tension (I suspect).
But, sure would be fun playing around in a 25 meter sphere, and seeing what kind of crazy tricks and techniques one could invent.
