Weightlessness in space

In a space station, you can no longer feel the effects of the gravitational pull from the Earth. Where there is no gravitational force, you cannot tell up from down. A British female astronaut shows how you can move in a space station by floating. She describes how you can use all three dimensions of space, and unless you tie everything down, it will float away. Food does not go down into her stomach but floats about inside her!
