    In true World Cup spirit ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst and NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman and Steve Swanson play a friendly game of football, celebrating their goals as only they can while living in the International Space Station.

    Recorded during their time-off over the weekend the astronaut-footballers enjoyed some weightless football fun.

    During Alexander’s six-month Blue Dot mission on the Space Station he will run over 100 experiments that cannot be done anywhere else on Earth – just like these celebrations.
