For some people, just being in space is not enough of a fairy tale - they need to also fly on a magic carpet to make the mental picture complete.
The video here features Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata on the International Space Station. He was asked to perform 16 amusing low gravity tasks that were submitted by the general public to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency - JAXA. One of those tasks requested by the public was to see if you could duplicate a flying carpet in space, which Wakata-san performs quite easily.
Other fun tasks that JAXA was requested by the public included how to fold laundry and demonstrate how astronauts use eye drops in low gravity.
Household chores dont leave even astronauts in space, it seems!
