Was that the Corbomeow Maneuver? No, it was the Kobameowshi Maru.

Cats training for space. You know somebody had to pitch that idea. In the early days of space flight. Somebody had to submit the proposal at the Goddard Space Flight Center or the Jet Propulsion Laboratory or wherever . "You know how when you drop a cat, it always lands on its feet? My proposal is that we take a bunch of cats into zero-gravity and drop them and see what happens." And you know there was a board made up of three scientists and six administrators, all men, who said "Hoo hoo. Let's do it!" "Next let's do toast. Does it always fall butter-side down in zero G? Hoo hoo." The early days of space flight were fun.

I would watch Cats in the Age of Enlightenment (one of the axed concepts).

Oh for the love of... Or I could have just watched Tell Me No Lies' link, which you were referring to. God, we need a delete button.

Was one of those end credit stills from the "Kitty on The Edge of Forever" episode?

I'm pretty sure I saw, just within the last couple days, video of people tossing some poor cat at the walls inside one of those vomit comet airplanes to see if it could still land on its feet when there was no "down" and the ground was sideways. Yeah, that would be this video. I think they're trying to see if the cat can sink its claws into the cloth padding and grip it, he pushes the cat towards the pads feet first. It's actually kind of amazing. The second time around, the cat gets snagged on a wire or a rope or something, and it spins around trying to right itself and it gets totally wrapped around him. But I prefer the more poetic arts project by Lyn Hagan. You can watch all 25 minutes of the video here.

I think they're trying to see if the cat can sink its claws into the cloth padding and grip it It's not a question of where he grips it. It's a simple question of weight(less) ratios!

Stop holding cats like babies, Pastoli People! Has Jackson Galaxy taught us nothing? And why am I up at this hour of the morning? :-/

The production value & acting on this is better than some films I've watched this past year.

This is impossible. Noise doesn't travel in the vacuum of space. It figures cats would develop space travel, though. Knowing how mine feel about vacuums, they would need a safe and comfortable way to get from planet to planet.

Tribbles! Little, cat-sized tribbles! Really enjoyed the "making of" video. I'm constantly amazed at what new technology enables people to produce with surprisingly low budgets. Great post.
