Liquid Ping Pong in Space - RED 4K

NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, who marked day 300 of a historic year in space on Jan. 21, 2016, shows off another fascinating feature of life in microgravity. Kelly used two paddles with hydrophobic, or water repellant, features to pass a sphere of water back and forth. Scientists use the microgravity environment of the space station to advance scientific knowledge in Earth, space, physical, and biological sciences that otherwise wouldn't be possible down here on the planet.
The paddles are polycarbonate laser etched so that the surfaces are actually arrays of 300 micrometer posts (0.3mm). The surfaces were then spray coated with a Teflon coat. The combined effects of surface roughness and non-wettability produce a super-hydrophobic surface capable of preventing water adhesion in dynamic processes. The larger the drop, the less force it takes to break it up. The smaller the drop, the harder you can hit it. Scott is demonstrating about a 4 mL drop (over 100 times larger than a rain drop).

lol my homework is about astronauts so I'm doing homework right now xD

Anyone else find that far more entertaining than they feel they should? It's like being a kid again.

[@suzannepritchard8440]

,..MMKk

[@mrSPEEDCASKET]

Lmao that’s more true than you’ll ever know

[@pblevy1]

I love how you can see his face in the drop of water..

[@astrogirl1usa]

+MrShirye Scott is suffering from severe bloating in his upper torso and especially in his face/head area. I am sure you would not look very good either, after being up there as long as he has. Scott Kelly is a very attractive looking man, usually.

[@astrogirl1usa]

Richard Ferrell He probably wasn't close enough to the bubble, or the bubble was too small, to see an effect like that.

[@WilliamSouza1]

Several electrical equipment and you playing ping pong with a ball of water? Great Scott!

[@DamianReloaded]

+William Souza Let that man play with his balls! He's been up there for so long! XD

[@ubentu]

+William Souza lol Great Scott Kelly!

[@UseLogicPlease123]

+William Souza OMG ALERT NASA!!!! I'm sure they never thought of that.

[@hvf26]

+William Souza im sure he had it under control. heaps of water gets loose even if they squeeze a wash cloth. they know what theyre doing

[@BioZombieExperiments]

Ha ha! I see what you did there!

[@jamjr1972]

if you could put a seed in it and watch it grow.....

[@exotic80]

jamjr1972 you could probably do it if you found a plant with little needs (especially soil) and some soil to water, leave the plant near a window to capture uv rays

[@jamjr1972]

Exotic80Roblox would love to see it happen!

[@chubbsmcduff6584]

You can't phisicly grow a plant in space as their isn't any downward facing force the plant can't suck up the water and can't grow as the loss of gravity stops it. But it would be pretty cool to do that

[@jamjr1972]

Benjamin Decent I imagine it's possible.... We know plants grow towards light and plants really don't need soil, they just need a steady place to grow.... I imagine.

[@thomasf.9717]

why would a plant need a downward facing force to suck water upwards? That makes no sense.

[@PhucTran-mz4hh]

I want to see what happens when he hits the water harder.

[@sprsae9003]

Phuc Tran it splashes and water floats away everywhere

[@DV-zv4ox]

Short circuits the equipment and they get sucked into a black hole

[@Darshanaz]

Yep water and electric current create black holes.

[@ricecake6316]

the sphere will turn into more spheres. Not so hard to understand. The formation of spheres is what naturally happens.

[@corentinjoly1711]

Phuc Tran The VR Sim will end and the water bubble will disapear because he is not even looking at it while playing with it he is just looking into the screen to see where it goes, everything from the nasa is coming from a virtual reality sim sry budy

[@triciahenry4674]

Okay, I'll admit, this is the coolest thing ever

[@Adriano_leal]

I just realized that because his mission is so long, by the time he comes back, most of his cells would be new and made in space, so Scott will be the closest thing to a person born in space so far :D Cool

[@Masterpg2007]

+adriano leal and they also would get a lot more of radiation, so not sure that would be good.

[@otaviowada7300]

How high are you?

[@janis7077]

adriano leal Not closest, there was an astronaut who spent almost 1000 days in space so he was/is the closest (idk if he's still alive now)

[@enderjacket6384]

Good video NASA Johnson! More videos with the potential to go viral will increase interest in space exploration. Keep it up!

[@ajtronic]

Best job ever.

[@riverlynx]

+MrShirye They have had a number of co-ed missions in the International Space Station (ISS). They do not tell all that they experiment with, imagine weightless ▒▒▒.

[@ogastasii]

+ajtronic Depends on the hobby.Best jobs ever for some could the guys with the shooting videos around here-FPS Russia,Hickok45, and so much more.Porn actors....

[@philliplewis1586]

+Gurundyo Munyov Yeah, I would take FPS Russia or Hickock over space all day, every day. Space would be really cool, but for a job I'd rather work on my marsmanship skills.

[@GustavoMartinottoF]

+ajtronic Being alone in space for one year straight, with no company, and taking a lot of risks. I don't think it's the best job ever...

[@astrogirl1usa]

+Gustavo Fonseca Mr. Kelly has NOT been alone and has NOT been in space for a whole year. He is not scheduled to stay up there for an entire year, anyway. He has been up there for 308 days, as of this post of mine - today, which is the 29th of January, 2016. NASA is just calling it a 'Year in Space'. Mr. Scott is scheduled to stay for 350 days, not 365 days. He has had plenty of company and being an astronaut IS the best job EVER! The only thing you said that was true - is that he is taking a lot of risks. Everything else was nothing but a lie. You do not seem to know even the basics about the astronauts, or the ISS.

[@enderjacket6384]

More videos with the potential to go viral will increase interest in space exploration. Keep it up!

[@lorifilm]

+fuzzy in this sequence what is interesting is that his eye movements does not fallow the bubble(naturally), but constantly watching the bubble position on screen abowe. He is too close to the camera, so he can not use augmented reality contact lenses. There is a longer footage of this "event"...

[@Tjerty]

[@walcXP]

What I find the most interesting is that they must actually plan ahead and bring all the props for these sorts of videos. No amazon shipping on space station (yet).

[@antonioesquivel7541]

+walcXP he probably made the paddles all you need is the cloth wich they use for cleaning purposes and sticks to attatch it to.

[@earlglaspie9241]

I was thinking the same thing.. because ping pong paddles are a necessity..

[@UpIntoSpace]

Cool! Amazing! Awesome! I proud Scott Kelly!

[@scottstirland4724]

This is awesome. The things you can do in space make you wonder on how far you can take and change earth style activity's

[@spacep0d]

Haha, great! And when you're done playing and work up a sweat you can drink the ball! :D

[@atardigrade5208]

I wish I could give you something that no one could. Thank you for being "insane" and having love for all of humankind.

[@OmegaMultiplayer]

This is pretty neat, though I'm not sure what more you could do with it besides just slowly passing a sphere of water back and forth. The surface tension wouldn't hold to anything more than a gentle push.

[@djAnakin]

Who would win in a ping pong match? Scott Kelly or Scott Kelly?

[@ronaldsannes233]

please explain why did the first drops of water took off with speed to the left? and why is his face not inverted in the bubble lens effect?

[@Justin_Martin]

Liquid ping pong in Space this is awesome!👑

[@m_5373]

PingPong with water, awesome !

[@MsAnnemieke1]

Water looks so cool in space

[@2testtest2]

That's really cool. I would not have thought they would bounce off like that, I expected them to absorb all the energy and just stop in front of the paddle.

[@MrKassieboy]

+neistridlar thats why the paddles are hydrophobic

[@2testtest2]

+Kasper S. What surprised me is not that they did not stick, as he clearly said they were hydrophobic. What surprised me was that the kinetic energy was not immediately turned in to turbulence upon impacting the surface, and thus leaving the ball of water floating right in front of, but not toughing the paddle. What seems to happen however is that most of the kinetic energy is conserved, and that the ball of water bounces almost perfectly elastically of the paddle.

[@FozziesRandomReviews]

My best bet is that in the microgravity environment the surface tension which is the strongest force acting in the ball of water acts as a skin around the outside. This skin allows it to compress then spring back like a regular ball here on earth.

[@precisiongames1649]

Years of time and effort to go into space and this is the result of what we're doing up there

[@Tonicwine999]

Fascinating :)

[@Dreamskater100]

Brilliant.

[@Bestjamesbond]

need to get a hydrophobic table too!

[@sirgoreth9176]

+Bestjamesbond Only problem would be: after it bounces off, it would just sorta.... float away... No serving or spins either :/

[@Bestjamesbond]

I know lol, you could serve it if you were careful, and you could return it if you had a second players, but you would only have one bounce haha! So serves would have to change a bit, but overall you could have an extremely slow paced game.

[@brokk2]

AWESOME!!!! Yeah, it will be the slowest match EVER.... but it will be amazing! :D
