what's it feel like?
While there's no up or down in microgravity, they still use 3D coordinates in the ISS. NASA TV announcers themselves have been making a point that the new cupola is on the nadir side of Node 3. Meaning down.
So, CAPCOM asked the ISS crew how they felt? Like a bat hanging in a cave or a prairie dog popping up from a hole. Split decision. Oh! Another vote: like in a glass bottom boat. So, that's 2 for down and 1 for up.
