Stick around (or hang around) and you'll come across more...

One of these days, they're bound to be caught in the act. "Hey, is that camera on now?" ;)
 
No, no, I mean in space. How would it be different?



:D

I'd imagine with the exception of gravity newtons laws would still dictate. There is still friction and inertia on the pairs side. Unless they are tethered at a couple points to something in the shuttle they might be bouncing all over the place LOL

Kinetic energy..... And a catalyst would do well.
 
"When you guys go into space, do not enter any black holes. In fact, don't enter any white or asian holes, either."



Oh god, I have no class....

"Come together, right now, over me...". Beatles. NASA often plays appropriate music to astronauts as they pass overhead.
 
It's not possible we haven't done it, I mean look at the action-list from STS-47: (see items in bold)

Spacelab-J—a joint NASA and National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) mission using a manned Spacelab module—conducted microgravity investigations in materials and life sciences. The crew, consisting of the first Japanese astronaut to fly aboard the Shuttle, the first African-American woman to fly in space and, contrary to normal NASA policy, the first married couple to fly on the same space mission (Lee and Davis), was divided into red and blue teams for around the clock operations. Spacelab-J included 24 materials science and 20 life sciences experiments, of which 35 were sponsored by NASDA, 7 by NASA and 2 collaborative efforts.
Materials science investigations covered such fields as biotechnology, electronic materials, fluid dynamics and transport phenomena, glasses and ceramics, metals and alloys, and acceleration measurements. Life sciences included experiments on human health, cell separation and biology, developmental biology, animal and human physiology and behavior, space radiation, and biological rhythms. Test subjects included the crew, Japanese koi fish (carp), cultured animal and plant cells, chicken embryos, fruit flies, fungi and plant seeds, and frogs and frog eggs.

I bet that couple is really down to earth.
