It's fascinating trying to work out how they've choreographed it to the phases of the flight trajectory. God knows how you work it out in theory before putting it into practice (and I've no idea how they didn't all chuck up). Those stewardesses are brilliant. I assume there would've been a number of takes, though the clean up between each one must've been murder. Found this which, if you can get over the sloppy use of gravity-related terminology, explains how it was done. As a matter of interest (to me if no one else), the plane was an Ilyushin Il76 - a Soviet-era transporter that used to fly daily over my apartment in Luanda as the Angolan air force had a bunch of 'em. Noisiest thing I've ever heard (and I've seen Motorhead, and Concorde - though from a much greater distance). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, I knew about this method from some old vhs tape at school some science teacher put on in lieu of teaching us.  Also seems folk agree with you regarding that particular aircraft   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018  RIP Commander. John Young took charge of 4 different types of spacecraft, the only astronaut to do so.  I'd read more than half the men who walked on the moon were of Scottish descent. Presumably the son of William Hugh Young was one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimba Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 What’d ya know...all the planets and moon missions are named after their false gods - the so called gods of mythology.  Except they worship them for real.  It’s really the ‘god’ of this world and the other fallen ones.  Get real and wake up to the manipulation!
