Silly Experiments in Spaaaace!

Koichi Wakata, a Japanese Astronaut who is working aboard the International Space Station was given the task to perform a few silly experiments in Zero-G requested by the Earth People of Japan. They consist of the mundane such as performing push-ups, squirting water from a tube, backflips and so forth but then some of them are bizarre like the “flying magic carpet” request! Oh, how I wish I were in space like Koichi and the other fine men and women of the ISS crew! I would see to it if I could perform the moonwalk in Zero-G! ;)

    Glad to see the thousands of dollars per minute we pay for each person in the space station isn't being wasted.

    Squirting water from a tube? That has no sexual undertones (overtones?) whatsoever.
