Theres one thing i've always wondered about space. Since there is no gravity there is technically no up or down... So right now the way we are seeing this in the gif it looks like things are being thrown "up" to the guy but he could really be facing earth, or even with his back to earth... Wouldn't you get really disoriented in space?

All astronauts are taught which way is defined as "up", so that you don't go past someone upside down and make them get extreme sickness due to their inner ear function being disabled.

The writing helps keep them oriented.
