Where’s the craziest place to stick a GoPro? On a surfboard? In the microwave? On a trick-or-treater? Well, this past summer the astronauts of Expedition 40 put theirs in a place most of us will never have access to: a floating ball of water.
Yep, in zero gravity different things are possible.
Take a look at the video below of NASA astronauts Steve Swanson and Reid Wiseman, along with European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst, as they do their best Abyss impression exploring the phenomenon of “water surface tension in microgravity” (whatever that means) aboard the International Space Station.

The views from inside and outside the floating ball of water are pretty awesome in 2D, but for more excitement, check out the 3D version of the video (Note: You will need red-blue stereoscopic 3D vision glasses to view the 3D video).
Here it is:

Where’s the nuttiest place you’ve stuck a GoPro (G-rated, please)? Hit us up in the comments section or on Twitter @videomaker and give us details! Oh, and maybe don't try that microwave idea.
