he's probably so used to living in microgravity.

when he comes back to earth he'll be like "hmm I'll just let this glass bottle float while i just get myself a straw... AHH SHIT!"

I love how he's so used to things floating patiently as he does other tasks. "i'll just let this can float here while i clean my can opener."

So in space, even tiny bond strength can make it sticky like glue I suppose.

@shawnhoffman Is he supposed to put it down? Because thats kinda impossible.

LOL @ when the bread slips out of the chopsticks. You expect it to fall, but it's just floats away. It's like, "Oops, don't want that bread to fly away"
