‘Awesome or gross, nothing in between’: US astronaut drinks ketchup in zero gravity, fans react to hilarious viral video

Dominick says he’s about to drink ketchup directly from the bottle and squeeze the condiment right into his mouth. The ketchup floating in the air because of zero gravity is a fascinating visual.

The caption of the video Dominick posted on X read, “This one goes out to all the ketchup lovers out there. Everyone I’ve shared it with either thinks it is awesome or gross. Nothing in between. Also some interesting science stuff happening . . .”

In a subsequent X post, Dominick wrote, “Having fun with @Astro_Suni and @astro_Pettit before we leave for Earth.”

The video has gone viral with more than 60,000 views. Responding to the post, an X user shared a similar video from 2023. The video showcases how honey behaves in zero gravity.

This is amazing. I want to try it 🤣

It reminds me of when—in celebration of #WorldBeeDay on May 20, 2023—Sultan AiNeyadi highlighted the fascinating behavior of honey in microgravity aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
