Ever wonder why some objects flip when they spin??? The Intermediate Axis Theorem is the answer! Watch as Astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi demonstrates this principle in microgravity???? When the moments of inertia around the first (I1) and third (I3) axes are nearly equal, rotational instability around the middle axis (I2) slows, resulting in that unique flipping behavior??

Ever wondered how astronauts vote from space? ???? NASA Astronauts exercise their right to vote through a complex process involving advanced technology and careful coordination: ??? Requesting a Ballot: Astronauts request absentee ballots using a Federal Post Card Application. ??Secure Transmission: Ballots are encrypted and transmitted through NASA's Near Space Network to ground stations. ?Verification and Casting: Ballots are verified by NASA and then forwarded to the appropriate election officials. This incredible feat of logistical coordination ensures that astronauts can participate in democracy, even from the International Space Station. ??Loral O’Hara, left, and Jasmin Moghbeli voted in state elections from the ISS earlier this year.
