I did a talk yesterday with one of those headset radio mics, and all through that video I kept thinking "I want a floating microphone next time".

No matter what you say, a floating microphone will hold the audience :-)

I wonder whether, after he returns to Earth, Cmdr Hadfield will expect things to hang in the air for him; looks habit-forming.

That, and I wonder if he will get bummed out looking at something on a really high shelf, or a cobweb up in an unreachable corner. The old muscle memory quickly telling him how much force to kick off from the floor with to get there. And then his higher brain realizing that he is stuck to the floor. Like a 3-d prisoner forever trapped in Flatland.

Just be careful if he hands you a beer...

No matter what you say, anything floating around you holds the audience. If I were an astronaut, I would just spend all day to goof and play around with everything possible :)

His watch tripped me out.
