No, I'd never wondered. But I'm glad somebody did. :D

I never thought of the question because I thought I already knew the answer. I would have assumed it would drift off into the surrounding air, but even before he said it I watched what happened and thought "Surface tension! Of course!" On the other hand I hadn't thought it would be that strong. Seeing it, it makes perfect sense. Now add some dish soap to kill the surface tension...

Wicked cool video. :rock:

Commander Hadfield is awesome, I follow him on twitter, he posts a lot of photos from orbit, some beautiful shots. He's due to come back down later this month IIRC.

Well there'd be no point in denying the fact if an astronaut wet his pants :)

Yeah, that's for sure Jimbuna.

Water is hydrophilic. Water likes itself. :)

By the way, this is why soap works to make things clean.

I wonder what how the substance from the human exhaust would react in space :)
