Fidget spinners are slowly taking over on Earth, and now they are doing the same thing in the International Space Station. Astronauts Randy Bresnik, Mark T. Vande Hei and Joseph M. Acaba tried one out in the name of science and determined, “How long does it spin? I’m not sure, but it’s a great way to experiment with Newton’s laws of motion!”
I wish my fidget spinner did the same thing on land as it does in Space, but really it is just a toy to keep my cat happy. Goes great with cat nip and almost has her spinning around like the astronauts.
Seriously though, how out-of-this-World cool is to see them play with the spinners up there?
