Do astronauts accidentally drop things on Earth after getting used to weightlessness in space?
Astronauts have a tidier routine than one may think. Regardless of what photos or movies shown by the media might lead you to think. On an Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA) everything is tethered, so that tools and parts don’t get lost into space. (becoming a hazzard to other spacecraft and astronauts). Even inside, astronauts don’t just “drop stuff”. On a spaceship, everything is tidy and stuck to surfaces. Precisely because it would otherwise float out of control, block equipment, etc. Astronauts might, however, get unused to the weight of objects. Just as they get unused to thier own weight and also to walk.
