They forgot to mention the movie "Wall-E" also showed the use of a fire extinguisher as a method of moving in space.

In space, if you are at a compete stand still and you turn on a flashlight, you will start moving in the opposite direction you’re pointing. It’s a very small amount, but still! How fascinating.

I love how much Adam loves science and respect him so much for doing this for the next gen of scientists. The fact he gave them all the parts for the zero friction contraption but made them learn on their own how to make it is so perfect, you learn more from figuring it out yourself and possibly needing up than you do from being told what to do

What lucky kids to do science with Adam Savage!! Made me smile!

this was so much fun to watch

Gravity? I think you mean Wall-E!

I used to drive a Zamboni professionally. I consider myself lucky

Love the test. Gravity was a terrible movie though. 😅

What about the weight of the vehicle and payload? I can’t believe we missed an opportunity to teach about Delta V.

Or about the coefficient of static vs kinetic friction

Before watching I feel like it's possible, they have jet packs like that for a reason, but a fire extinguisher probably only has a few good pushes in it because it's not designed to hold lots of pressure.

So disappointing that its with kids. Hard to get into and tk it seriously. I would much prefer Adam be with another adult engineer. Sad the show ended

All you'd need to do is pee to accomplish the same thing.
