Mind Blow of the Day: Astronaut Plays Table Tennis in Zero G
Let’s just put this out there: Gravity is the worst.
You know why gravity’s the worst? Because it prevents us from really reaching our ping pong potential. Sure, we can bask in the glory that is Forrest Gump playing table tennis against a wall, but are we really doing something meaningful?
Chinese astronaut Chen Dong thinks we can do better. So when he was on a local TV show in China, he showed off just how far humanity could reach without dumb gravity holding us down. What do you think of that, Sir Isaac Newton?
Check out these gifs from Mashable and say that gravity's worth it:
Or check out the whole video from CCTV on China Daily.
Chen plays it by himself, but he still has some catching up to do with NASA’s Scott Kelly, who plays “water ping pong.” Still, they are both strikes against gravity, which stinks.
