Baku. 23 January. REPORT.AZ/ Ma Long is the number one ping pong player on Earth, but Scott Kelly just showed he’s the best in the universe.

Report informs citing the foreign media, Kelly shared his ping pong skills from the International Space Station, using hydrophobic paddles and glob of water for a ball.

The paddles repel water on Earth and with minimal gravity inside the station, proved great for playing ping pong in space.

Yesterday was the 300th day Kelly has been a resident of the International Space Station (ISS) and what better way to mark the milestone than a game of solo ping pong.

‘Neat stuff’, Kelly says in the video while bouncing the water between two paddles.
