THIS Is Why You Want To Be An Astronaut

Nice article and amazing quicktime video (Part 1, Part 2) of pure water forming strong soap-like films on a wire hoop in zero gravity.


This is what the International Space Station is for and I bet the first thing that anyone does when they get there is say "Gosh I'm thirsty - how about a cup o' tea?" - quickly followed by "Whoops - I appear to have spilt it." Followed by 4 hours of playing with a floaty blob.
