Russian cosmonaut Anton Shpaklerov has posted a video on his Twitter account, which shows him floating around the orbital outpost astride a vacuum cleaner to an R. Kelly song, aptly titled “I Believe I Can Fly.”
"People, often ask if we fly around the ISS on a vacuum cleaner. I had to say no, I haven’t tried that. Now, during a Saturday cleanup, I thought this is already my third mission in space…it’s time to test —fly the thing,” Shkaplerov wrote.
The video quickly went viral among appreciative users.
“What a joyfully fun astronaut. Judging by your photos and video you have a hell of a good time there, even though I’m sure that sometimes things get rough up there. Good for you, and your friends too! Greetings from Moscow!” k_berencice tweeted.
“Finally we’re getting down to the REAL things,” chuckled a Twitter user, who goes under the nick konstantin0108.
Earlier, Anton Shkaplerov published a photo of the bridge across the Kerch Strait from the ISS on Instagram.
