What happens when an astronaut cries in space?

I may be wrong, but there is no pressure (to push the water molecule to sphere up) in space unless you are inside the hospitable environment of a space station or space suit. I've seen videos of water globules being gobbled by astronauts inside the ISS.

Floating away implies a force that pushes the water drops away. newtons law simply implies that tears/water will stay where it formed.

The assumption is that the person crying is indeed inside a hospitable environment (i.e. inside the ISS or wearing a spacesuit)--do you think one would still be able to actually cry if exposed to the vacuum of space? I don't think so.

Do the tears run along the cheeks just like when we are here on earth where gravity is present?
