In a video posted by NASA itself on its social media account, astronauts are seen passing something like an Olympic torch towards each other. Again, zero gravity means no gravitational force. Many games were played there. However, they do not use real weights or anything like that.
Users are giving their reactions on the video. One user shared the video and wrote, why can't we raise money for Space Olympics? Another user expressed his desire to do gymnastics in space.
A user was seen praising Sunita Williams' fitness. He wrote that he is sure that Sunita can participate in the Olympics and win some medals.
At the same time, another user was seen raising questions on the reason for Sunita Williams staying on the space station for such a long time. Let us tell you that Sunita has been stuck in space for a long time due to technical problems. One user wrote that first of all they should focus on bringing her back home. Sunita is not ready to stay in space for more than three months. Questions were also raised on the malfunction of the Boeing aircraft.
