Astronaut Aboard ISS Uses Bungee Cords to Avoid Flying Away From Treadmill: Watch

The European Space Agency (ESA), an intergovernmental organisation of 22 member states, has shared on Instagram a small video clip of an astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS) running on a treadmill. Yes, you read that right. You must be wondering how an astronaut stayed stable in microgravity. Well, there’s always a way.

In the clip, the astronaut, Thomas Pesquet, had bungee cords attached to him and they ensured he didn’t fly away from the treadmill. What’s also remarkable is that the astronaut appears to be running upside down. However, since Thomas is in space, it doesn’t matter, for there is no gravity.

“By changing the number of clips they can set how much force to push them down on,” the ESA said in the caption.
While many people were excited about the sheer effort it must have taken on part of the astronaut to put all this together, several others left emoticons in the comments section to express what they felt.
Speaking about the experience, Pesquet said that since the tension was taken by the harness, it was really like running with a backpack of his own weight. “You feel it on the hips and on the shoulders! That’s why we usually run at a fraction of our earthly weight,” Thomas was quoted as saying by ESA in the caption of the video. “But our coaches know how to keep us honest: they speed up our protocols by 30 percent… I’m kind of missing a natural environment to run in, though.”

ESA keeps sharing breathtaking visuals of cities and water bodies from the top, besides, of course, doing the all-important exploration of space. There are also occasions when these space agencies share the experiences of their astronauts in space, aboard their stations.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.

As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
