I would really like to know as I have some experiments of my oun to try. As to propulsion, a fan would work inside the space station but highly disagree out in space itself.

The hard part would be squeezing the drop out such that it's not moving too fast to put your eye onto. That's my best guess.

Most are silly. I've always wondered what an explosion in space would do. Is there a strong outward force, like on Earth? and how does the fire behave with zero gravity?

Calisthenics: Depends on what the workout tape asks you to do.. >_> 2. Backflips: Not that hard.. Try doing one under water, then remove any difficulty from the drag of the water. 3. Volleying (soccer): The paper ball goes flying in whatever direction you hit it in. No gravity to make it fall in arc. 4. Push-ups: Push-ups are you working your muscles against your body weight caused by the pull of gravity. If you push off your going to go in the opposite direction. 5. Cartwheels: Yes you can, in space with a little assistance you can easily be spun around like a cartwheel. If your strong enough to resist the centrifugal force it might even be perfect. 6. Swimming: Hmm.. This is a tough one, I don't think it's possible because I doubt the air has enough viscousity to pull himself forward using friction like you would swimming in water. 7. Spin like an ice skater: Yes, the same thing happens in space, why Newtons laws of motion.. 8. Folding clothes: You press it flat against an object and fold it, if you have one of those shirt folding boards it'll probably be easier. 9. Magic carpet: Nothing to hold you to the carpet.. you just sort of float off.. 10. Water gun: It shoots out in beads of liquid and keeps going till hits something, a solid object it breaks into more beads, another liquid it coalesces. 11. Eye drops: You could do it in reverse.. but the best way would be to do it as close to your eye as possible no gravity to make fall. 12. Propulsion through space: Not much power is needed, just a push from your finger would move you but not very far. Flapping with fan in space most likely would work a little more effective in space, but not as good as just pushing off, also flapping will be just as tiring. 13. Arm Wrestling: Both opponents would have to be anchored. Isn't that cheating? 14. Shaking Hands: Works. 15. No gravity to keep them in a circle long enough. 16. Tug-O-War: Winner is decided immediately, on the bad side the loser will come flying at you. 1. Calisthenics: Depends on what the workout tape asks you to do.. >_>
