    Why the hell do they need a treadmill when they can run without moving an inch due to no gravity in the space?

    I wonder if it's a vertical treadmill like a buddy of mine tested during a short stint when he was involved in a NASA experiment where his body was kept horizontal for 2 or 3 months straight. Check out the video of him running on the treadmill on this page:

    If my body were ever held horizontal for 2 - 3 months straight, Angelina Jolie better be someway involved in the experiment.

    @Serolf Divad: Her involvement would be "blog commenter strapped to a bed for ninety days to see if Angelina Jolie cared enough to notice".


    The results came back that she did not.

    Usually there's a belt harness on the other treadmills I've seen in videos. But they could just plant their feet on it and let it spin them ass over teakettle.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but is it the Stephen Colbert Treadmill, or C.O.L.B.E.R.T, or the Stephen Colbert C.O.L.B.E.R.T? Damn you NASA. Making me so upset I might blow a blood vessel when I use the Colbert later.

    @Kaiser-Machead: On a serious note, I'm going to take a wild guess and say that the resistance is probably both something the astronaut uses to press him/herself down on the treadmill, as well as some resistance in the wheels, much gravity treadmills that use no motors.

    Given the not-so-long-ago correlation between astronauts and diapers, naming anything Serenity is going to give people the entirely wrong idea.

    Wow! NASA took a page from the 2000 elections. NASA, if you have no intention of honoring a vote, then don't have one. And please stop naming your ships and modules with such ridiculous and recycled names. If you want the support of the people in your endeavors, then don't alienate them.

    NASA had to overrule the dumbest generation of voters ever because our 80's public school education was so bad, we don't even know we're alive.

    first off, i'm not only a facebook user, but something was wrong with the login button and it wouldn't let me log in. Anyway, I completely agree with NASA choosing the 8th one. Has anyone SEEN the 7 that came before it? They're pretty much all terrible-

    For those who are wondering, they named it Tranquility, after the Sea Of Tranquility on the moon where Apollo 11 landed.
