The Soviets put a cat, a pigeon, guinea pigs and fish into ZERO GRAVITY. The footage is incredible.
During the Space Race, Soviet scientists took animals aboard aircraft to see how they reacted to weightlessness.
The pigeon tries to fly. The cat has absolutely no idea what to do with itself.
Actual science, conducted with the most confused test subjects imaginable.

@ClearedAsFiled@JungleAlex13227 I love the Bonanzas! Great airplanes. Spent some time back in the 90’s in a debonair and a K35 working on my instrument rating. Good memories.
@ClearedAsFiled@JungleAlex13227 True, but I’ve gotten into some pretty spirited exchanges with atc because I wanted to stay high to clear wx while they’re trying to descend me out of the mid-40s.. I’ve flat out refused to descend. Miami gets over it. Too bad this crew didn’t stay higher longer.
@zachwhitez@shaqiloatmeal99@KangusB3 lol everything. There’s not a wall between the pilots. They cooperate and make decisions as a crew. It’s not a road trip like “I’ll drive and you control the tunes”. Just because he’s flying doesn’t mean he’s not allowed to look at the radar. She’s wasn’t “calling any shots”.
@gsd_chris@TheMaximumGee@IAmyLeigh lol where do you get your info? Or do just belch through pursed lips and hope the sounds that come out form convincing ideas?
She had a LR-60 PIC Type rating and a Commercial license. What’s a communications officer anyway? Are we on battlestar galactica?
@shaqiloatmeal99@I_Am_JohnCullen He doesn’t get it. It’s funny watching non aviation people try to make sense of simple flight plan info… Or maybe he DOES get it but he’s trying to drum up viewers for “the next big conspiracy”.
@LionelMedia Incorrect. There is considerable historical evidence that points to the contrary. In fact, there are still some remote tribes in Africa that run down their prey using “persistence hunting”… https://t.co/8cj1akOsm2 Also, check out the design of the human foot as a shock absorber!
@MegynKellyShow@megynkelly Perhaps a more experienced copilot would have spoken up and said “hey captain, what are we thinking going into this level 5 cell at FL350?. Shouldn’t we turn?”.
@Swagsx2@I_Am_JohnCullen It’s pretty typical to deviate left and right of course to “pick your way through” areas of weather like those commonly found in south Florida. Problem is, they were operating at 35000’ and those storms can grow to the mid 40s and even higher.
@n3r0H3ro@LiveStormChaser Where did you get that? Do you just open your lips and push air out and hope
for the best? They were on course direct Freeport and restricted from turning right due to traffic.
