Humanity’s highest disco? Astronauts throw dance party aboard ISS
"Volume up and get your groove on."
By Dean Murray
Is this humanity's highest ever disco?
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) took time out for a boogie 260 miles above Earth.
NASA's Jessica Meir, dressed in sequined trousers, shared scenes on Monday, Sept. 14, from the dance session in which she and her colleagues pulled some moves in microgravity.
Taking part in the fun with Jessica were NASA's Jack Hathaway and Anil Menon, and ESA's Sophie Adenot.
US astronaut Jessica said: "Volume up and get your groove on. A bit of weekend dancing on the Space Station to start your week off right.
"A friend of mine was shocked when she realized that it was possible to dance in microgravity.
"Seems we can't keep this from the world for any longer! The power of music transcends Earth and space."
Social media users enjoyed the spectacle.
Scott Manley posted: "This video is absolutely going in my space DJ set."
Barbecue Weasel wrote: "Man i love seeing the goofball posts from the station. Work hard play hard."
GeremyHebert added: "Sequin pants on the ISS? Lol, yeah that's my Commander!"
