      It’s actually pretty simple to have a drink of water, and it does float in space:

      Yup, water for sure floats in space! You drink it from a straw to stop it escaping, but if it does you can grab it with your mouth like a Hungry Hungry hippo 🙂

      Showering is more complex though – because the water doesn’t go down!
