The best simulator for spacewalking is underwater - it allows full visuals and body movement in 3D. Virtual reality is good, too, and has some advantages, like full Station simulation, not just part. Like all simulators, they have parts that are wrong and misleading: an important thing to remember when preparing for reality.

For many years in my laboratory and other laboratories around the world, we've been studying fly behaviors in little flight simulators. You can tether a fly to a little stick. You can measure the aerodynamic forces it's creating. You can let the fly play a little video game by letting it fly around in a visual display.

I started with CB radio, ham radio, and eventually went into computers. And I was just fascinated with it. And back then, when I was in school, computer hacking was encouraged. It was an encouraged activity. In fact, I remember one of the projects my teacher gave me was writing a log-in simulator.

We didn't have any simulators. We had to do it on the track all the time. Now they've got simulators for everything. And, if they have an accident or go off, then you just press a button, re-set, and away you go again.

Animals can adapt to problems and make inventions, but often no faster than natural selection can do its work - the world acts as its own simulator in the case of natural selection.

Even though NASA tries to simulate launch, and we practice in simulators, it's not the same - it's not even close to the same.

The first time I used a simulator was in 2014 when I was competing in the Ginetta Junior Championship.

I'm a development driver, which means I'll be doing a lot of work in the simulator.

There's an entire flight simulator hidden in every copy of Microsoft Excel 97.

I don't play a lot of games. I play flight simulators, mostly.

Simulators create a realistic environment to learn complex skills safely.

Immersive Learning

Simulators are often used in technical fields to replicate real-world scenarios.

Technical Training

Simulators provide a controlled environment for testing, limiting risk.

Safe Testing

Simulator implies someone is deceitfully pretending for personal gain.

Deceptive Behavior

Calling someone a simulator usually has a negative connotation.

Negative Connotation

Being known as a simulator can affect a person's social credibility.

 another neuromodulator, another set of cells, a different pattern, and you can imagine you could extrapolate to a very, very complicated system. Is there any evidence that flies do this? Well, for many years in my laboratory and other laboratories around the world, we've been studying fly behaviors in little flight simulators.

 and how those constraints could lead to detectable signs in the world. So where might we look for those glitches? One idea is that as a simulation runs, it might accumulate errors over time. To correct for these errors the simulators could adjust the constants in the laws of nature. These shifts could be tiny—

 And this was actually used by surgeons to see what they were doing with other instruments from different points of view, without caring that much about what was touched around. And here you see the soft robot in action, and it just goes inside. This is a body simulator, not a real human body.

The incredible potential...

 We basically set out to create a fully simulated, one-to-one, virtual reality laboratory simulator, where the students could perform experiments with mathematical equations that would simulate what would happen in a real-world lab. But not just simple simulations --

This virtual lab will...

 but one of the most important things it does is it's an experience simulator. Pilots practice in flight simulators so that they don't make real mistakes in planes. Human beings have this marvelous adaptation that they can actually have experiences in their heads

Why are we happy? Why...

 this 19 million dollar simulator is as near as these people will ever get to being in a plane crash without leaving the ground so we just had an evacuation if this were a real-life horrible situation how would people have fared what everyone have survived

 they would be prepared for the worst. In fact, the airline industry has gone as far as to create fuselages of simulation environments, because of the importance of the team coming together. This is an evacuation drill simulator.

 And they spent hundreds of extra hours with simulators and recordings of surgery, when you were supposed to learn in the OR. And maybe most importantly, they found ways to struggle
