Re: the firefly effect

During the building of Apollo spacecraft, the vendor would put the ship on a three dimensional rotating table that would eventually rotate out all loose parts before the craft would be considered to be worthy of zero gravity. When it was over, three five gallon buckets of stuff were swept up from the floor which included stripped ends of wire, hardware and other things.
From "Chariots for Apollo".
