Astronaut Training Experience: three sea monkeys in a Multi-Axis Trainer

The day before JoCo Cruise Crazy 2, sea monkeys Ellie, Eric and I did the Astronaut Training Experience (ATX) at Kennedy Space Center. Part of it was spinning around in this Multi-Axis Trainer. It was a lot of fun and not at all nauseating, since the stomach stays at the centre of gravity. In the background you can see somebody going up the zero-gravity wall, where the climbers weight is balanced out so they can go up and down with very little effort.

As Marian Call would sing:\r
Whos to say were upside down?\r
Whos to say were falling if we miss the ground?\r
Whos to say were going nowhere\r
if we like spinning round and round?
