Very cool stuff. What yoyos was he using? One looked like a DNA.

This was a fun watch, thanks for sharing. I learned a lot about physics and space…, how to get the ladies. 🙂

That was super cool. I love that guy. Coolest video I’ve seen in a long time. I will say this tho, it makes me appreciate gravity. If we didn’t have gravity I probably wouldn’t be playing with my yoyo much.

That is so cool. I only learnt the other day the way the gravity works on the ISS, the reason there appears low/zero gravity is because the ISS is in constant free-fall towards the earth, but due to the forwards momentum, it is falling to the side around the earth, so never really gets closer.

Every now and then they have to use a booster as it does fall closer to the earth.
