A space exhibition was opened at the local science and tech popularization centre.
They had an old Russian satellite hanged up below the ceiling. What a feeling .. several tonnes hanging in the air.
Stared at it for a while from different angles.
Wanted to get the feeling of it. Could feel it moving and saw it swinging slightly. Still, thought it would be awesome to practise weight reduction and lift on it. Didn't acquire a good enough accuracy of the feeling of the object. Walked away in order not to look too suspicious.
Attempted stasis field on air bubbles in some sort of oil, too. That wasn't too successful, though.
Tried some sort of a simple game on gravity and space-time distortions. The goal was to hit the button at the right time and have a metal sphere tossed out from the central black hole so that it would travel the spinning plane and fall into a smaller hole. A few failed attempts, then something caught my attention, semi-accidentally hit the button and the sphere flew past the hole, got stuck at the edge of the plane. It was stuck there for a few seconds .. someone requested my attention .. looked back and the ball started coming back from the location where it previously got stuck. Missed the hole by a few mm. This sequence of events didn't look too probable.
A lot of stuff that would be fun to practice with. Had to go back to work, though.
