EXPERIMENT TO DISCOVER WHETHER AN ASTRONAUT CAN IMITATE THE FALLING MOVEMENTS OF A CAT, 1968

An experiment to see whether a person in a space suit can imitate the falling movements of a cat, to find out how astronauts can move in space. The experiment was conducted by Professor Thomas R. Kane in 1968 using a trampoline, a cat, and a trampolinist in a spacesuit.
