Thermos, a bit like magic

INT: NASA’s Space Power Facility. Cleveland, Ohio

V.O.: The largest vacuum chamber in the world.

The large chamber is constructed of concrete, and aluminum, a soaring ceiling. A bit awe inspiring, the scale of it all. The door to the chamber is open, not vacuum sealed yet. A bowling ball and feather are held by a crane, then dropped, and the bowling ball hits the ground first.

V.O.: This is the place NASA tests aircrafts, the closest thing to the vacuum of outer space on Earth.

Intercut to: Space. The ISS. Earth. The BEEPING and STATIC of space communication. Definitely awe inspiring space views, etc.

V.O: When 30 tons of air is removed from the chamber, it creates a near perfect vacuum.

Cut to engineers in the computer control room. The doors of the chamber closing. Lights flashing warning of low oxygen levels. Back in the chamber a bowling ball and feather are being crane lifted to the top of the chamber. A COUNTDOWN begins.

O.S. Engineer: 4, 3, 2, 1.. Release.

The ball and feather are released. They fall at the same rate.

V.O.: The power of vacuumed space is a bit like magic.

A thermos, in the engineer room, before a panel of buttons and lights.

V.O: But it’s just physics. The same physics of a Thermos.
