{{/usCountry}}“This is awesome! That looks way too fun to me!” posted an X user. Another joined, “That’s so cool. If I were there, I couldn’t get any real work done because I’d just float around watching a fidget spinner go by.”
While a third commented, “That's sick. I was sitting here thinking the entire time, can you spin it back on!? That's pretty insane for a first try too. It's hard enough to do that on Earth sometimes,” a fourth person wrote, “It's so good to have fun. It turns out Dominick didn't expect to get it right so easily.”
