How did they get the bubbles of water to float like that?

Look at the description, the filmed this at the International Space Station, which is in space
Awesome video!

I’ll book my next bubble war in an anular space,
so that I and my buddies can coaless quickly

DUH!
Try READING the friggen description twit.
Are you extremely dyslexic or just mastered the art of asking the dumbest questions?
What colour is the Lone Ranger’s white horse?

Are you three years old and completely lacking the capacity to interpret sarcasm?
Try not to look like such an ignorant douchebag in your comments or ignore the “dumbest questions” all togehther.
Thanks

Space Station = No Gravity…That’s how the water was floating like that. Looks really cool.

That is pretty awesome.

Chrome. Kill yourself. Seriously

Ok, perhaps a clever person can answer this – why does it stay in a sphere like that? why does it not float off in all directions, or become a shifting, shapeless blob? I know water is viscous but surely it would break into pieces…?

The reason the water bubble does not separate in to a random spray of water, is due largly to surface tension. Surface tension is not affected by gravity (it is the molecular “pull” of one molecule to another. all of the water molecules are attracted to each other. On the outside of the sphere of water, the molecules are only pulled in (because of the lack of molecular “pull” from the air around it) causing the water to only be pulled in, and to stay in the form of a sphere!) Simple huh?

Yeah I kind of figured that, just usually videos I’ve seen of liquid in anti grav just go all over the place. Then agaian I suppose this water was released slowly and carefully so as not to break the surface tension. Thanks for the response, it was nice to actually have to use my (patchy)remembrance of my A-Level physics study :p

I won’t be impressed until someone finds a way to get some fish into the sphere

holy crap how does such a cool video get such a boring description?

LOL! That Would be awesome, ecco folds five. If we ever get to live on the moon, aquariums would be useless!

There is gravity on the moon.
