About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery

1. I got an ancient aliens ad before watching this.
2. Cracked
3. Here cuz cracked sent me lol
4. here cause of the cracked podcast lol
5. This really should be titled Pigeons In Spaaaaaace!
6. XKCD anyone?
7. When it goes to slow motion it sounds like it's being narrated by Mr Plinkett.
8. they're in space. is upside-down really a thing?
9. so a bird flying in a 0 gravitytheory plane is proof off what? xD such bullshit... lolz gullible and stupid! not knowing that a theory is nothing but garbage to proven.... and this old bullshit theory isnt proven why? non can xD so must be time all you conspiracy idiots stop using made up scifi ;)
10. Lol
11. they're not in space, they're on on a plane doing a hyperbolic arc so that the people and animals inside experience little to no gravitational force relative to the plane.
12. That pigeon was like"They see me rollin'!"
13. Ive always wanted to take a flightless bird such as a chicken into space. Just to see its face of disappointment when it returns to earth with the inability to fly.
14. Those birds are definitely shitting themselves
15. They're not in space though.
16. They are like winged tea-partyers...
17. to be fair, this IS almost as funny as the terrific idea that was the Bird Orb.
    ah, xkcd, how we love thee.
18. Those pigeons looked like they loved that ride!
19. Why does the narrator think that "upside down" has any meaning in a zero-g environment?
20. This is not a good experiment because this is not a zero gravity environment.
    This is an aircraft flying Parabolic trajectories in order to simulate zero gravity.
    The only way to truly do this experiment properly is to actually take the animals into orbit and give them time to try to orient themselves and attempt to see if they are intelligent enough to figure out how to move around in zero gravity by forcing its weight off spacecraft walls.
    
    Is the animal smart enough to figure out how to flap its wings in a manner that will propel it in a direction that it wants to go without doing so so hard that it kills itself?
    
    Could the bird figure out how to slow itself down before impacting a wall?.
