Video: A NASA astronaut demonstrates how to put on pants in space.

In a new video, published on social media platform X, Pettit approaches a pair of floating pants in zero gravity, then quickly slides his legs into the pant legs, tightens the waistband, and zips up.

Viewers who watched the video have mixed feelings about the astronaut's experiment. Some members of the online community praised Pettit's creativity, while others believe that such entertainment is not the best way to spend time at an orbital outpost, where scientific work should take priority.
