I just realised that i kind of used this effect at work every day back when i was a port worker. Every morning i had to pull the mooring lines straight and as i pulled them out of the water i would loop the rope. Once the mooring line was straight i would grab one end and give it a whip twoards the water and watch it pull itself up and then down into the water. I could have just dropped the whole bunch of rope into the water but i would always do it this way because it made it less likely for the rope to tangle and it was cool to watch.

You can tell that Don genuinely just loves science. He’s so enthusiastic and joyful!

Gotta be one hell of a compliment, to be told by an astronaut, that they just like you to do weird physics stuff-research with them together in space

The clarification that the astronaut said "torquing" instead of twerking cracked me up

11:55 “I come back to Earth in early April” is a WILD sentence 😭
@
That's one serious chain of events. Pretty out of this world.

"I come back to Earth in early April" is such an unreal line

Seeing an astronaut do yo-yo tricks in space over a teams call was so funny and surreal, that made my day lol

"It was Microsoft Teams"

You have got to be kidding me.

I feel like having a newly discovered physical phenomenon named after you is probably one of the highest honors any scientist could ever receive.

Can you imagine being in a position to just casually tell someone, "Sure, I'll check it out next time I'm up in the ISS" 🤯

The idea that you need to be worried about connection stability on your call to the ISS due to YOUR internet connection is hilarious.

The ending is like: "Sorry, I have to hang up, the ISS is going through a tunnel and I –"

I love how the progression of the "bead chain" videos follows the fast and furious progression to the point where they went to space
@
Showing the chain versus the string was the coolest part of this because I had no idea how weird the chain was until I saw it next to the string

The worst part of this was 100% finding out that even going to space would not allow me to escape the infernal mess that is MS Teams

One thing that I never expected to see was an astronaut doing the “around the world” yo-yo trick, whilst going around the world 😂

Teams can handle calls between Earth and space but can't notify me when a group call happens
