Zero Gravity M&Ms eating: Leland Melvin in action

Written By Alistair

One of My Favorite Videos of All Time

Just like us as entrepreneurs, these astronauts spent years preparing, taking massive risks, and pushing the limits of what’s possible. Can you imagine the sheer amount of training, the intense pressure, and the reality of floating above Earth in the vastness of space?

And yet, in the middle of all that… they found comfort and fun in the simplest thing—eating M&Ms mid-air and testing their floating water-drinking skills.

I love this video, purely and simply. It sums up humans in one short clip. We can push for excellence, but we should always stay inspired to have fun—no matter how hard it gets.

Kudos to Leland Melvin for his prowess and for giving us, along with the rest of the team, this epic moment.

Bottom Line: No matter how high you go or how hard you work, joy makes the journey worth it. Find your fun—even in zero gravity.
