In 2008, British artist Lyn Hagan made a film starring her black cat and two mice, and set inside a zero-gravity airplane. A clip of the film uploaded in 2009 enjoyed viral YouTube success; recently, she uploaded the full version and sent it in. Lyn writes:

a film I made in 2008 in Russia on board a cosmonaut training plane. No animals were hurt in the making of this film and the black cat lives happily ever after (with the occasional weird dream)

The airplane flew 10 parabolas, each one allowing weightlessness for 23 seconds.
