One of the students says that the multi-axis trainer is used to simulates an astronaut's re-entry from orbit. This is false. If a spacecraft really was tumbling in three axes as the trainer does then it would be out of control and about to burn up. The trainer is actually used to simulate an astronaut's disorientation during weightlessness and train them to respond correctly whilst spinning around and correct a tumbling spacecraft, like the real life incident of the Gemini 8 mission in 1966.
