To mark the start of the 2024 Summer Olympics, Nasa astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) organized their own mini-Olympics. A video released on July 26 shows the crew passing a mock Olympic torch, engaging in weightless events like discus throws and gymnastics, and sending a message to Earth’s athletes. Astronaut Matthew Dominick expressed their enjoyment and admiration for the challenges faced by Olympians under gravity. The ISS crew, including Russian cosmonauts, is currently experiencing an extended mission due to technical issues with Boeing’s Starliner capsule.
