Can water make objects “stick” in space? ????

Aboard the International Space Station, our astronaut Sophie Adenot shows how water behaves differently in microgravity.

Water molecules cling to each other so tightly that they can form a stable, continuous layer between two objects. This creates a “water bridge” that increases contact, making the skimboard briefly stick to her fingers!
On Earth, gravity is way too strong for this to happen, it immediately pulls the water down and breaks the effect.
