- dha07030, on 10/31/2009, -5/+120I can haz gravity?
- hotshotveggie, on 10/31/2009, -2/+108Why does he keep throwing the cat at the wall?
- Patman326, on 10/31/2009, -5/+110Do a barrel roll
- sipsyrup, on 10/31/2009, -2/+94Space cat is not amused.
- Ohnodonho, on 11/01/2009, -0/+65My guess... is that he's trying to see if the cat will treat the wall as the ground because the wall is the direction the cat is "falling." But it doesn't seem to work that way. The cat probably keeps spinning because it is trying to find down, or whichever way gravity should be pulling it.
- snipe123, on 10/31/2009, -1/+45Test result : even in the space a cat always lands on its legs
- inactive, on 10/31/2009, -1/+42To see how it bounces!
- shutaro, on 11/01/2009, -2/+39They appear to be making major strides... major strides.
- directedition, on 11/01/2009, -0/+30Blue jumpsuits man. They're either janitors, or they're from NASA.

RE: Space Cat
The weightless cat tests were inconclusive. I do, however, strongly recommend on future parabolic feline experimentation flights we take a DECLAWED specimen. - thesonofdarwin, on 11/01/2009, -6/+28Considering cats have a righting reflex, I'd tend toward the animal abuse side of the fence.
- txballer, on 11/01/2009, -1/+22How do we know this is Nasa?
- Wisgary, on 11/01/2009, -4/+24Terrified cat holds on to woman for safety, lets go because she trusts the ***** that grabs it, and then just gets thrown at the wall again. What a bunch of dickweeds on that plane. Let's see them, without any context, suddenly have the laws of physics shatter completely around them in a strange environment and see how they do.
- rusty0101, on 11/01/2009, -2/+19Cat is not favorably impressed. See tail.
- TheMoniker, on 11/01/2009, -2/+19To further that, let's see them, without any context, suddenly have the laws of physics shatter completely around them, in a strange environment, while being repeatedly thrown at a wall and see how they do.
- mverta, on 11/01/2009, -7/+23Humans are complete *****.
- pklall, on 11/01/2009, -1/+17You have to hit the blue "Reply" button.
- 1Bad, on 11/01/2009, -8/+23Because it is funny.
- Smyley, on 11/01/2009, -2/+16I would enjoy throwing a wall at him like that.
- Rastaman108037, on 11/01/2009, -1/+15An intelligent response on Digg? ABSURD!
- prisoner24601, on 11/01/2009, -1/+14I'm in ur vomit komit, getin redy to hack up a hairball.
- tdogg241, on 11/01/2009, -1/+14*grabbity
- r0ji, on 11/01/2009, -1/+12How could someone digg this down.
- twishart, on 11/01/2009, -1/+12OH ***** OH ***** OH ***** OH ***** OH *****
- directedition, on 11/01/2009, -1/+11I him would wall enjoy at that like throw
- juliusthecat, on 11/01/2009, -6/+16You must be fun at parties.
- ZigZagZilla, on 11/01/2009, -0/+9That's nothing. You should see my cat in the tub.
- chrisfly, on 11/01/2009, -0/+9good to know you can still get pussy in space.
- copypastry, on 11/01/2009, -1/+10Hah, I assumed that it would spin around super fast trying to "right" itself relative to a surface.
hypothesis confirmed. - Outofthenight, on 11/01/2009, -11/+19Isn't this clip like 20+ years old??
Oh, I see the submitter, makes sense now. - sageerrant, on 11/01/2009, -0/+8NASA has janitors, so... maybe both?
- DulcetTone, on 11/01/2009, -1/+8airplane
- gsbrickner, on 11/01/2009, -0/+7Terrified zero-G cat with claws can introduce annoying zero-G humans to lacerations.
- AnalogAssassin, on 11/01/2009, -1/+8That ***** looks much meaner than just sticking Scotch tape to the bottom of their paws.
- chrisfly, on 11/01/2009, -0/+6i think the woman with the long curly black hair is sally ride?
- cfuse, on 11/01/2009, -0/+6I'm pretty sure that karma was restored about half a second after gravity. Kitties have built in weaponry for these rare occasions.
- nichiplechle, on 11/01/2009, -1/+6that would happen only in russia
- Junkyarddawg, on 11/01/2009, -0/+5Yeah, it's cruel, but animals have been sent into space before, and I've certainly seen crueller. Unfortunately.
Since no one can explain the situation to the animals it takes them a couple of days to figure out how things work - but they do figure it out. This was obviously on a russian zero-g aircraft flight, meaning the cat had at most a couple of minutes in zero g, and no chance of figuring anything out, but it would be interesting to see what a cat could do after a week in the international space station. - Quisquis, on 11/01/2009, -0/+5Half the comments above you are people crying about how bad this is.
- cyrix, on 11/01/2009, -1/+5They're not in space. They're in the vomit comet. Some day I will ride that damn plane.
- s4g4n, on 11/01/2009, -1/+5what if you butter the cat?
- fragMasterFlash, on 11/01/2009, -0/+4So is Space Kitty going to play off some astronauts?
- freakFlag, on 11/01/2009, -0/+4NASA FTW!
- firebhaal, on 11/01/2009, -0/+3houston, we haz problem
- InactiveUser, on 11/01/2009, -3/+6I noz which way is up.
- Atario, on 11/01/2009, -0/+3Looks like it works perfectly fine to me. The cat is able to reorient itself to land on its paws, no matter what surface it contacts. It immediately bounces off since there's no force pressing it "down", but hey.
- Noxat, on 11/01/2009, -0/+3Well I guess I won't be bringing my cat to space with me...
- ALiberalMind, on 11/01/2009, -0/+3Maybe so, but also understand that cats have a righting reflex. So if the cat is being thrown around in a 0g environment, it's natural instinct is to try to find "up", but it can't. Plus, since it's 0g, the cat can't exactly control where it's going either, further adding to its stress. It's a totally different situation compared to jumping off from something on its own.
- thisismydigg, on 11/01/2009, -2/+5lol, look at him trying to figure out which way to land
- danlscarlos, on 10/31/2009, -10/+12He must be retarded. I would enjoy thowing HIM at a wall like that.
