The international space station (ISS) orbits Earth at an altitude between 200 and 250 miles. At this altitude, the gravity is 90% less than what it is on the planet’s surface. Spending all that time on the space station gets kind of lonely and astronauts come up with unique ways to kill boredom.
Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov was one of the astronauts up there and rode a vacuum cleaner around the ISS with his arms stretched out like Superman. R Kelly’s “I Believe I Can Fly” was running in the background to provide a perfect setting. You can watch the video below to see him flying around yourself.
