Great video Humayun.

It definitely seems that astronaut has way too much time on his hands.

Would be amazing to experience zero gravity in your life time.

Thanks for sharing.

I believe that that astronaut is being brought back on the Shuttle mission which is due to launch in 23 minutes.

Edit: I just found out that the launch has been scrubbed again.

D'oh!

The arm wrestling cracked me up.

Good value

My son (7) got to have afternoon tea with Greg Chamitoff 2 weeks ago who was on ISS17 last year for 6 months.

Great reading are his personal diaries from his time there. You can find them on the NASA site.

The weightlessness though is tough to adjust from back on earth, he has been back for 8 months and still is not fully recovered.
