FIRE IN FREEFALL - rare physics experiment

@0:44 This isn't a micro-gravity situation. The ISS still experiences roughly the same acceleration due to gravity as we do here on the surface. The difference is that the ISS has such a large tangential velocity that the craft stays in free fall around the Earth without hitting the surface. So if anything the simulation with the box should be very close to the ISS as essentially both objects experience acceleration due to gravity and free fall.
