You may have been mesmerised by the incredible pictures taken by astronauts stationed at the International Space Station (ISS) and even wondered what they do when they are not busy doing their duties. A fun clip shared by Astronaut Megan McArthur gives a fun sneak peek to how the people up there spend their free time. The clip, shared on Twitter, may make you smile.

Flippers up, let’s go!” reads the caption shared alongside the clip.
