UM-Bot Posted November 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Astronaut Kjell Lindgren recorded a video of himself playing the instrument as a tribute to Victor Hurst. In a scene reminiscent of that at the end of \'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan\', the sound of \'Amazing Grace\' being played on the bagpipes drifted through the International Space Station this week in tribute to research scientist and instructor Victor Hurst who passed away last month.

Grandpa Greenman Posted November 15, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 15, 2015 That took guts to play them a spacecraft. Bagpipes are very difficult to master. I guess he did well enough they didn't throw him out the airlock. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astra. Posted November 19, 2015 #18 Share Posted November 19, 2015 It takes quite a bit of diligence and patience to master the bagpipes - he did a great job. Being able to play music while up in space is known to help astronauts combat feelings of isolation. http://thescienceexp...re-played-space I remember a revised version of David Bowie's Space Oddity - recorded by Commander Chris Hadfield on board the International Space Station. He loved his guitar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toast Posted November 19, 2015 #22 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) If bagpipes would be played during an EVA, the bagpipe would work as a cold gas thruster device. So alienz may think we use cold gas thruster devices to make music, if not in regular use. Edited November 19, 2015 by toast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
