Astronaut Matthew Dominick is making waves on social media, offering space enthusiasts an exciting glimpse of life aboard the International Space Station (ISS). As a current ISS resident, he frequently shares fascinating moments with his Earth-bound followers. In his latest post, Dominick entertained his fans with a fun video of himself drinking directly from a ketchup bottle while floating around the space station.

“This one’s for all the ketchup fans out there. Everyone either loves it or finds it gross—nothing in between," Dominick humorously captioned the video, adding, "Also, some interesting science stuff happening too.”
