I had seen this video before but it was great getting the chance to see it again. One of the things I enjoy most about this video is not that he does amazing tricks, because let’s face it, he doesn’t. It’s not that he gives such a great lecture on the physics of the yo-yo. He touches on that but doesn’t really go into much depth. The best part of this video for me is that Don is a big time astronaut in outer space but still, he really LOVES his yo-yo.

This ain’t no child’s toy any longer, brilliant scientists in space enjoy them too!

One thing we learn here is that you have to have a hubstacked yo-yo if you want to play in zero gravity.

Thanx
