Agreed. I can't help but laugh, but I feel sorry for that cat. It must be freaking out. =)

Why does that guy keep throwing the cat at the wall?

insanely cruel. why play pass the cat. you think you'd enjoy being weightless without the need for spin the kitty.

That was weird. I wish one of them would get thrown and spun like that. They looked like cruel kids laughing and getting off on some poor animal freaking out.

I upvote anyways....

I'm sorry but animal cruelty gets my downvote, no matter how funny.

LOL - But I'm fearfull that the animal rights group will soon be making a trip over to NASA over this one

since a cat 'always lands on its feet' i'd be willing to bet he was 'throwing the cat against the wall' to see if the cat would sense itself 'falling' into the wall. if you watch, the cat does indeed land on its feet (against the wall). from that point on though, the cat was trying to orient itself to land feet first. it does *look* cruel, but i don't think that was their intention.
it's a hard arguement, being a cat lover myself, but i can't see how NASA of all groups would be caught 'pulling the wings off flies' in zerograv for fun.

Hey, it's an important question to have answered "How do cats handle zero G?" Well, we now know the answer - poorly. If I was going to live in a weightless environment, maybe I'd like a pet. Based on this video, looks like cats are not a good choice.

Doesn't really strike me as cruel - or at least no crueler than the the inevitable "kitten bowling" that is the result of kitten + humans + freshly waxed floor.

That shunt brings the cat back to the main torturer AGAIN. I wonder how fast a golf club swinging towards an astroturd's skull moves in zero g?

There was no point whatsoever to this. The use of these planes is to train people to become accostomed to the "Feeling" of weightlessness. There is no "Zero G" here, it is strictly a frefall. There are no "effects on cats" to be tested here, it was simply cruelty for their enjoyment.

'"Hey, it's an important question to have answered "How do cats handle zero G?" Well, we now know the answer - poorly.'

I disagree - the cat was adapting much better than an unprepared human being would. Keep in mind that cats have instinctive reactions to position themselves when in freefall (which was probably why they tried it out). It only trips up when it gets caught in its own safety tether. If they'd been able to get the cat into orbit, I could easily see it figuring out how to move around competently - and with greater agility than a human being could manage.

Not that I'd want the job of catching the cat if it were loose in the ISS.

"There is no "Zero G" here, it is strictly a frefall."

There is no "zero g" anywhere. There is only freefall (AKA "microgravity").

POOR KITTY!
With that said, ROTFLOTC (lol) @ k8_fan for his "If I was going to live in a weightless environment, maybe I'd like a pet. Based on this video, looks like cats are not a good choice."
