Astronauts don't float because there's no gravity, they don't fall to earth because they're moving sideways really quickly. Strangled Beagle ensues.
Gravity if stationary at the ISS is about 90% earth surface. Trufax.

Could he do it from a geosynchronous orbit?
Also, don't send the beagle to Mars.
