Astronaut Shows How Easy It Is to Get Stuck in Space

How frustrating!

When we imagine zero gravity, we kind of think of it like being underwater. However, there are a few key differences between the two phenomena. First, gravity still affects you underwater, and second (and more importantly), you can *swim* through water.

This isn’t the case in zero gravity. If you get stuck in one place in zero gravity — which, as this video shows, is pretty easy to do — you’re kiiiiinda fucked, unless you want to throw something to propel yourself in the opposite direction.
