What do you get when you bring knitting needles into space? Astronaut Don Petit demonstrates some principles of physics aboard the International Space Station.




Of course, this begs the question: why there are needles up there in the first place?

  2. Awesome! And you're right -- maybe there's a knitting group up there. Oh, and I agree with Gail -- love the way he says that!

    1. It's hard enough to track yarn balls on Earth--can you imagine doing that in space?!

  3. I'm kinda fascinated with those water droplets! I enjoyed this video -- but I'd really love to see him actually knittin' with those needles :-)
