To be fair if you didnt know anything about space travel, it would be plausible to believe that you wont be effected by weightlesssness if you are travelling to the fringes of space. But surely on take off when you dont feel any gforces, you will have to rumble it and realise you're not going anywhere. Thats why tonights episode will be must see TV for me

Re: Space Cadets
 

They have told the muppets that this shuttle launches horizontally and does experience the same G force!! All part of the 'power of suggestion'.

Re: Space Cadets
 

They enter the space shuttle tonight. It should definately be interesting to see if any of them realise anything.

Re: Space Cadets
 

when you take off in a conventional plane you still feel some forces when the plane lifts off, and thats maintained for a while. I cannot for the life of me see how this will be replicated on tonights show.

Re: Space Cadets
 

It's basically a big version of the fairground simulators. If you feel like you in a Red Arrow at the fairground (even though you know you are in a simulator) just imagine being in a simulator that you think is real. It's basically an elaborate card trick - if you're conditioned to expect something and believe it enough, your mind convinces you it's really happening!

Re: Space Cadets
 

If they have some control of the seats via inflatable air cushions and tightening of the straps I'm sure it will be believable.

Re: Space Cadets
 

Many of the simulators use hydraulics in the seats and the main body of the simulator to provide movement which, accompanied by the right noises, makes the experience lifelike. If there are external views then video complements the other effects to give a touch of realism.

Re: Space Cadets
 

they should just make the launch that loud and jerky that it blocks out their ability to concentrate on their other senses.

hmmm very suspicious.

Re: Space Cadets
 

I wouldn't have thought so. If you wanted your 15 minutes of fame, in addition to applying to reality TV shows, would it not also make sense to apply for roles as extras in other TV programs/ads?

Re: Space Cadets
 

It doesn't really matter about the blood man, as he wasn't selected to go 'into space'. I very much doubt C4 would go to these lengths to dupe the audience.

Re: Space Cadets
 

I think it does matter - if he is an actor, even though we have been told he isn't, doesn't that mean the rest of them probably are?

Re: Space Cadets
 

What were they wearing!! I mean those kinky white suits?

I see a Capricorn One happening!

These people are going to feel REALLY stupid when they find out the truth...
