When a group of high school students asked an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS) what happens when a wet washcloth is wrung out in space, the Canadian commander put their question to the test - and shot a video of what turned out to be a remarkable demonstration of the oddities of living in micro-gravity.

WASHINGTON, April 24 (RIA Novosti) - When a group of high school students asked an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS) what happens when a wet washcloth is wrung out in space, the Canadian commander put their question to the test - and shot a video of what turned out to be a remarkable demonstration of the oddities of living in micro-gravity.

“The question is, if you get a cloth dripping wet without gravity, what happens if you wrung it out?” Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield asks at the start of the three-minute video that he made on board the ISS.

The video (below) has had more than five million views since it was posted last week.
