NASA astronaut Don Pettit, aboard the ISS, entertained viewers by floating into a pair of pants as part of a public challenge. His video showcased the ease of movement in microgravity, culminating in his triumphant completion of the task. While many found the stunt humorous, some critics questioned its value, suggesting the funds for the ISS could be redirected. Pettit, known for his innovative science experiments, has previously invented items like the Zero-G Coffee Cup, demonstrating his scientific contributions alongside lighthearted moments in space.
Pettit demonstrated his skills in a video posted on X, as he floated into a pair of pants in microgravity, finally triumphantly pulling them up and exclaiming 'Ta da!'.
Despite the lighthearted nature of his stunt, some viewers criticized the attention, suggesting that funding the ISS could be better utilized for more practical endeavors.
Known for impromptu 'science of opportunity' experiments, Pettit also invented the Zero-G Coffee Cup to help astronauts drink coffee in low gravity without a straw.
Pettit has been living aboard the ISS for six months, showcasing not only his fun antics but also his dedication to conducting meaningful scientific research during his mission.
