    Fun fact: This was in fact a parabolic flight. NASA was trying to figure out how horses would behave on the ISS and if they can be used as emotional support animals for stressed out astronauts.

      I’d suggest a sloth, instead. I feel like a sloth would get along just fine in zero-G.

        Alright Bud, you go ahead and argue with Commander Williams, why he is not allowed to take his emotional support horsie on that space station.

      Why…pray tell…would anyone want to know how horses would behave on the ISS? You couldn’t even fit a horse in that thing!
