Magic Carpet in Zero Gravity?

Surfing takes on new meaning with this magic carpet. Apparently, you can stand on it and manipulate it to go where you want it to go in zero gravity. Can you say Ali Baba?

    There's nothing magical about it actually...and they are not quite accurate in the article. The astronauts are in a "micro gravity" environment...it's not a zero gravity environment.

    Carpet, or no carpet....the astronauts will still float around the space station regardless.
