**Blog will be posted Sunday so I can get the companion video edited!** When it was clear men would be flying in space sooner rather than later, it began a new kind of research into how men can move in space, specifically in microgravity. There were a lot of studies in this field, and one 1962 report detailed a series of movements in a weightless environment that could help a disoriented astronaut get to where he needed to be in a spacecraft. And there's loads of olde timey space to dig into on my blog, Vintage Space, too! http://www.popsci.com/blog-network/vintage-space Like even older space?
