Turns Out That A Star Fox Barrel Roll Is Scientifically Feasible

Published Sat, 28 Mar 2015 11:45:29 -0500

Star Fox is probably my favorite Nintendo franchise as I have an incredible affinity for the 64 title. Now, as anyone will know the most famous phrase in the series is 'Do a Barrel Roll!' You don't even have to have played the game to have heard that one.

That is why I appreciate this video by PBS Space Time about how scientifically accurate a Barrel Roll in space could be. It turns out, surprisingly accurate. In fact, it could be the most physically accurate part of the game.

Get some science down you here:
