      Very neat but wouldn’t you worry about water droplets getting into all the electronics behind him?

    2. It looks so slimy, almost like honey…

      Also, what happens if that water touches the machinery?

    3. Reminds of a scene from the movie Life.

      >!An astronaut drowns from a liquid coolant leak in her spacesuit. It gets into her helmet and she can’t get the fluid away from her face because of no gravity and the liquid coalesces. It all collects around her nose and mouth. It’s terrifying.!<

    4. Always wondered where those little water droplets float off too and if they can mess with things. Obv not because they’re doing it … but does anyone know what actually happens to them ?

      This gives you a bit of a sense of what smaller animals experience with water at their scales. To us, water is a liquid that splashes and sprays and mists. It evaporates on us quickly, and is generally a mere inconvenience if it spills. If we’re immersed in the stuff when it’s very cold or very hot it’s a different matter, but overall, we kind of just interact with water thoughtlessly.

      But if you’re an ant, it behaves much more like this video. Gluey and sticky and constantly coalescing due to surface tension. Wander into a drop by accident, and you could be stuck permanently in a suffocating bubble.

      Such a fascinating material when encountered in zero G.

      I think it’s interesting how they carry more blood in their face at zero G. It’s almost like they’re constantly upside down

      Very clearly the have hidden fishing line and hooked it to the water to make it float
