the floating objects are just so funny and make me happy, its so surreal

[CamDoesEpicStuff]

It's cool how everything just floats...

[rangerwolf]

"just a normal toothbrush, nothing magical there."
*FLOATS IN MID AIR

I like the fact that Chris Hadfield is really an elite human being and he's surrounded by the best and most current technology and yet his toothbrush is more basic than mine!

[BestAtNothing]

In space, you have no choice but to swallow.

[SuperiorApostate]

I wonder if he drops things a lot now that he came back to Earth.

*casually lets go of toothbrush and microphone*

[cattz.are.silly.]

I love how the water just floats around in the background .

Just met him in his book signing in London, awesome :D 

[allurephoria]

I love how he just leaves everything floating in the air and forgets about it

[nickintra]

It’s such a flex every time he has to grab something and just lets whatever he’s holding go and it just floats

I remember, 10 years ago, when I first watched these videos. I was a sophomore in High School and it was late nights and I was up watching a lot of ISS videos. Mr.Hadfield comes up everytime I think about space exploration. we need to start thinking about deep space soon. and exploring it.

anyone else finds it so cool that everything is just flying around

[bpalms]

Toothpaste is completely harmless in small amounts. What people are saying is just don't eat the whole tube. It's not a minty-gooey snack.

As an aspiring astronaut, I love seeing all the space content and the excitement that there is around space travel!

[dystopia]

i wish i would go to space mabye in the future

[coisasinteressantespt]

I like how he doesn't have to hold the microphone

[TRANCEMONKYE]

So when you sleep in space does your sleep float away?

[antarikshshreshthi]

[DoctorFifa]

I just love how he don’t even care about holding the mic 🤣
