Watch Astronauts From the 1970s Geek Out With Gyroscopes
Atlas Obscura recently featured this awesome 1970s footage of astronauts and gyroscopes in space from archive.org.
Why are gyroscopes so important to spacecraft? Well, why not let a couple of astronauts from the 1970s explain? (And if, for some reason, you’re not interested in gyroscopes in space, may we recommend you watch this video for the ‘70s-era facial hair alone?)
