Actually, it's a Canadian Space Agency video, not NASA's.

That's a very interesting video. I saw it when it was originally posted on APOD, and I didn't understand the physics about how/why the water collects around his hand and the towel, and I still don't. Does anyone have an explanation?

Right, I just don't know why or how it works. Very cool video, though, ;~}
