Canadian Media Chat with Hadfield
[vid_tags]
Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 35 Commander Chris Hadfield of the Canadian Space Agency discussed his impressions of becoming the first Canadian commander of the orbital laboratory and other facets of life and work in orbit with Canadian reporters gathered at the Canadian Space Agency’s headquarters in St. Hubert, Quebec, March 18 during an in-flight conversation. Hadfield became commander of the complex during an on-board change of command ceremony March 13, taking the reins of station activity over from NASA’s Kevin Ford.

SPAAAAACE!!!!
Strange question but I was fascinated watching his watch jiggle around on his wrist, and I was wondering if it would be possible to make an entirely mechanical clock that would work in low gravity conditions? I suppose it would just be spring driven, but could it be done with say a pendulum?
Without gravity a pendulum cant work, so short answer: no. A pendulum needs gravity to pull its heavy bottom down to its beeing able to swing around otherwise it will just turn like a wheel until it stops.
well, i do 🙂
I do too 😛
you know you’re gonna have a good time when commander Hadfield is “ready for the event” <3
I’m transfixed by the wobbly watch!
