I imagine that lots of stuff gets loose and travels around the cabin in zero-g, so my question is what's the most surprising thing you found floating in front of your face?

What do you do when something dusty or anything like that starts floating around? How do you stop it prom hurting people or damaging stuff? Thanks!

What's the most interesting experiment that you were a part of aboard the space shuttle?
On my last flight (STS-75 in 1996) we deployed the tethered satellite, a 1.5 m diameter sphere that remained attached to the shuttle by a 20 km long wire. Looking up at the wire disappearing into space, I felt like Jack looking up at the beanstalk!
