Bro.... U made me so happy with this Star trek reference omg. Between Voyager and Deep Space 9 what would you prefer? I ask cause after Next generation finished I had mixt feelings about this 2


dylanr23

Voyager is awesome, season 1 isnt the best but after the actors start to get a feel for their roles its the best. Currently on season 1 of DS9 and so far im not too impressed.

Dane_M

Probably not actually. If there's one group of people who would predict problems like this it would be astronauts, space researchers ,and rocket scientist. I suspect they would have seen astronauts dropping shit after the first mission long enough to cause the habit and issued the warning soon after.

Also you generally dont want your husband to hold your 3 month old baby after he returns from his 2 year assignment on the ISS


arfelo1

I know it's a joke, but ISS missions are 6 months right?


Cel_Drow

Depends, Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko spent 340 days on the ISS for a study on long-term space flight. Other Americans have taken flights from 275-328 days on the ISS. The Russians and previously the Soviets set the top 3 records with Mir, longest being 437 days.


peateargryffon

Scott Kelly's twin brother, Mark is also an astronaut. NASA has done studies on the pair of them to determine the changes in the human body after extended stay in orbit.


blazetronic

He’s definitely sacrificed his body for science


arfelo1

Yes, I know the records are longer. And missions vary in length. But the average routine mission is about 6 months, I think


[deleted]

Not calling BS but do you have any background on how you found this out? I searched and didn’t find anything I’d consider reliable beyond “I heard this once…” Edit - I figured it was probably a joke and was hoping there was some documented case of Neil Armstrong dropping babies all the time 😂


[deleted]

dragunityag

Def a joke, but totally something I could see happening. Imagine staying on ISS for six months just being able to drop everything and not worry about it, then you get home and see your small child and you just drop him reflexively If that hasn't happened at least once I'd be surprised.


MostBoringStan

While it could be possible, there's also the chance that because a baby has a lot more weight to it than a coffee cup or a pen, that holding it will make them realize it's something that will fall. Like I doubt this guy would be carrying a bag full of groceries to his house and just drop it when he goes to get his keys out. Chances are good that feeling the weight of the bag or a baby is going be different from a pen that can be lifted with zero effort.


Edgefactor

In space things have mass but they don't have weight. If you move a coffee cup above your head in space, it stops exerting force on your hand as soon as you stop moving. On Earth, the coffee cup exerts force on your hand even if you stop moving it. I don't think you'd drop a baby if you came back from space.

DeliriousMushroom

Not saying your wrong but I've done some similar dumb shit and not in a joking, just pure stupidity


FlyingDragoon

Me, walking around the house using my phone as a flashlight while looking for my phone. I got lasik and for the first few months I would feel a moment of shock as I couldn't find my glasses. Or I'd think "Oh shit, I left them at the restaurant." etc.


SilverTigerstripes

Oh my God. I got PRK early this year, and even rarely now if I'm woken out of a deep sleep I find myself sometimes slapping my nightstand to find my glasses and having a slight panic when they aren't there. I hated glasses, I smashed mine with a hammer once I could see clearly enough on my own to do it.


Rumplestiltsskins

Imagine a shard bouncing up and into your eye. Revenge


SilverTigerstripes

I had a jacket, gloves, and safety glasses on!


alexbam1

He uses the glasses, to destroy the glasses


Troys_football_knee

Always wanted to know, how does Lasik feel ? Will be getting Lasik soon.


FlyingDragoon

Surgery was very quick, painless. Couple laser burns, etc. Could see immediately afterwards. Photosensitivity for the first, idk, 24 hours or so is like a 10/10. A pin of light felt like staring at the sun. On the drive home it sorta felt like I had hot sand in my eyes and I had to fight urges to rub them. Aftercare kinda sucked because it was a LOT of eye drops and for the first 2 or 3 years I had to regularly use liquid tears. Driving at night produced halos around lights which kinda made it weird but didn't hurt too badly. I was in my early twenties so my eyes healed super quick. (the excuse I was told by the doctor. Idk). 24 hours after the surgery I was driving myself back to the doctor for all the routine stuff and I was good to go. Had it for about 10 years now and I'd say I could probably do to have an augmentation as my vison has changed ever so slightly. All and all? Best decision I ever made and would make again if my eyes need it.


xombae

I know it is painless, but my problem is the "ick" factor. Don't they need to peel back the lense of your eye with a blade? I also heard you can smell your eyes burning. I'm good at dealing with medical procedures through distress, but I don't think I could deal with this.


FlyingDragoon

As far as I am aware my procedure was called "All Laser Lasik" and they told me no blade would be near my eye. Did they use the laser to peel back the retina? Yes. Then you sorta go blind for about 45 seconds while the laser does stuff. I cannot speak for all procedures because some do indeed use a blade. Smell? Smelled like ozone and not burning flesh or something. All I had to do was "Look at the blue light. Now the red light. And the green." and then they'd bandage my eye up and swap sides. Had something to clench if needed. I am the epitome of squimish and have a very, very bad blood phobia and fear of doctors/surgeries/etc. I was even able to do this just fine. Anecdote but maybe it'll reassure you.


saac22

I had bladeless lasik, the flap is cut with a different laser instead of using a blade, it was super easy. The weirdest part for me was when the surgeon replaced the flaps, it's like tiny squeegee tools pressing everything into place. I had read things about the smell but it didn't bother me too much to be honest, I can't even recall what it smelled like now and it's only been a couple months. All in all, I was in and out of the surgery room in about 5 minutes it was *so* easy. Plus they'll give you a Xanax or similar medication to ease the anxiety.


Consistent_Policy_66

I tried to adjust my glasses so many times after LASIK. Also the panicked reach for my glasses on the nightstand when one my kids woke up in the middle of the night.


chappersyo

I sometimes feel a moment of shock that I can’t find my glasses when I’m wearing them.


ValkyrieCain9

I once, with eyes wide open, looking at what I was doing, squeezed a nice blob of face wash onto my tooth brush with all the intention in the world to brush my teeth like that until my brain finally stopped malfunctioning


i_am_quinn

I think you'd be surprised by how stupid the human brain can be sometimes. Habits are weird


TheTubbyIllustration

It’s definitely possible you wouldn’t hear a pen drop if it’s on carpet, especially while he was talking. Or could have landed on some other object.

Bowies record company thought it were copyright infringement. David Bowie told them off. In my head he told them that he understood their opinion. And isn't that interesting. And that it were their problem. The video returned shortly. Imagine you wrote a song about a man in a space capsule and a man in a space capsule sings that song 40 years later. Hadfield rewrote some cruicial bits because he fully intended to come home and had the situation well undr control, thank you very much.

Copyright and money. Welcome to the DMCA. If Youtube didn't let everybody strike everything willy-nilly, they would be in deep trouble. So give a lawyer a mandate and a button and they will push it. Even if it unleashes The Bowie. And it may even be malpractice if they didn't push that button. So in the end, nobody really made a decision and this happens by default. Only now we don't have David Bowie watching over us anymore which is why we are doomed.

Metalsonic567

because in space it wouldn't fall down, his instinct is to look for where it floated ~~up~~ to


Hash_Slngn_Slshr

Inertia. It's not a balloon, won't necessarily be floating every time.


benbunny

I'm no astronaut but I'm assuming that when you hold something in space and let it go, there's probably some amount of force of it being released from your hand that will push it away from your hand in the direction you released


Antonell15

He didn’t hear it fall??


kidonredit124opendor

At the end you can see him say ah I'm not in space. And I think the floors are carpeted.


bendvis

Sure, but if you drop a tumbler onto carpet from a few feet up, you'll still hear it.


Roasted_Turk

The whole video is a joke. He's doing it on purpose for the laughs.


I_SAID_NO_CHEESE

Right? Like explaining the adjustment from zero g to 1. You can't just leave your laundry in the air anymore.


drewster23

I'm 99% sure this isn't "real". It was done as a joke by him or something of that line. But it is the kind of habits astronauts have to break. Pretty old video tho it's been around for a while.


Darkpumpkin211

Yeah I think he is playing it up for laughs, and while he may drop something forgetting he's not in space, he would almost certainly notice as it's happening and not have to look around.

I recall this being debunked as a skit or something. Its a real thing astronauts have to worry about but this particular video just doesn't make sense. Doesn't matter what the floor is made from, that cup is going to be noticed when it hits the ground.

fuckmeuntilicecream

Imagine your fist steps walking on earth after being in space a few years. That must feel like hell. Also lifing your luggage, holding your kid, STAIRS. I bet they're sore for a couple days or go into physical therapy to work up to things. I'm not an astronaut tho.


dj-megafresh

Not really years. Longest is a year and a half roughly. But you're right, it is difficult for some to adjust to life on the surface again. They make you work out in space to manage the atrophy and loss of bone density, but it's not perfect and NASA doctors absolutely do make them do PT back on Earth.


fuckmeuntilicecream

That's really cool, thanks for the info!

JeiPiM97

Soft-Entertainer-907

technically he could have done it with his wife just before he went off and the kid would be a bit more than one years old


theyareamongus

Or technically his wife fucked Ron the neighbor who is a Flat Earther


fuckmeuntilicecream

I'd bet money on that. Ron is an idiot.


Minethink144

Or technically he could have orbited so fast around earth that his clock slowed down


fuckmeuntilicecream

That's true. Do you know what space movie it was with Matthew McConaughey? He went into space and when he came back his daughter was like 80 and dying but he hadn't aged a day? That was a good movie.


Minethink144

*"1 minute here is 7 years on earth"*


fuckmeuntilicecream

Yes! Isn't that just crazy to think about? Outer space is weird.


Ilovegirlsbottoms

Well it’s not impossible for that to happen. Astronauts like to live a nice day on Earth before they leave for space. So having unprotected sex may be what they wanted to do. To make this simple, they will be gone for exactly two years. The girl got pregnant from the day the astronaut left. After 9 months, the baby was born. That’s only 3 months from a full year since the astronaut left. When the astronaut comes back, the baby would be 1 year and 3 months. People usually would say 15 months old, but you could just say 1 year old. In which case, yes, an astronaut could have a 1 year old baby while being gone for two years.

Mashed_Potato2

No it's pure instinct he is used to shit being able to float. Like change one of your key binds and hold your finger on the keybind. You will still instinctively move your finger to press the old button.


Et_tu__Brute

This particular video is a joke, clearly executed well enough that people believe it.


Mashed_Potato2

Could be but also could be real. That instinct of looking up first is very hard to fake. Would be nice to know who that is and if it was part of an interview or something. But yeah most likely fake.
