So, it seems that NASA astronaut Scott Kelly has found time to put a brilliant spin on an old game during his year aboard the International Space Station.
In a video released Thursday by NASA, Kelly shows how he uses special water-repellent paddles to play ping-pong in the microgravity environment of the space station. The technique can be summed up in one word: awesome.
The paddles are coated with the hydrophobic material Teflon, which allows them to (slowly) bounce a jiggling ball of water back and forth.
"They repel water, kind of like a raincoat," Kelly says in the video.
It's part of a series produced by NASA that showcases astronauts doing cool experiments in space.
