      Any photo of astronauts floating shows them smiling from ear to ear. So I guess it feels pretty great!
      I think it is something we all have to experience to be able to explain. I hope soon we can all get a chance, even for a few minutes.
      In the meantime, the closest we have is visiting your swimming pool. Astronauts train in large pools as that is the closest feeling.
