In the Apollo film the movement of the jacket is not behaving as it would in Earth gravity. Why the jacket is behaving differently in the two weightless environments ... firstly the astronaut in the Apollo clip is moving vigorously and secondly the jacket may be made of a material that has a greater mass and whilst it is weightless it would still retain the inertia of that mass.


If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years.
