What happens when you wring out a wash cloth in space?

For science!

Ok thats pretty damn cool. Big smile

I love all things space and its amazing how the water is more like jelly than anything.

Space... why are you so awesome?

Also, the Canadian Space Agency logo is pretty cool. Blink

Surface tension is amazing. I picture it like all those water mollecules holding their arms together and singing we shall not be moved until a unit of Force Police comes in crashing... Lol

I am like OOOOOOOOOOOOHHH and AHHHHHHHHHH .... Big smile

yay!

Edit: I kept watching the videos, loved this one too due to how I imagine the feeling of being weightless and sleeping like that

Now here's a question.

Imagine you are doing this experiment in space. Would anyone else have the urge to lick your fingers with the water holding on due to surface tension?

Or am I just weird. Oops

It is really facinating to see something as simple as wringing a washcloth in microgravity.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Kinda ineffectual, this gives Science it's next challenge!

The Fisher Space Cloth, can wring out in 0 gravity Big smile

Next challenge.

Building a house of cards in 0G.

Over to you NASA. Twisted

Did you notice how the microphone moved while he wasn't holding it? The main issue aboard the ISS it's air circulation. On a vacuum and free fall, the cards essentially would stay where you put them.

BTW, one of the coolest ISS videos ever, was filmed during an acceleration maneuver. Seeing the station move around the astronauts was ubercool. Cool

a question on last week's physics midterm asked why astronauts feel weightless in orbit, and the answer was they are not experiencing any support forces

physics in mai eve??

I was wondering how big we could make the bubble of water around a person :-D

Huh? The'yre in free fall, that's why they "feel weightless".

"free fall around the earth" was not one of the answers, that's all.

Everything is awesome with 0 g. Atleast in the beginning, then i might become annoying :P

what stood out was the rise in blood pressure in his face. blood pressure is equally distributed in the body and no longer highest in the legs (unlike while under the influence of gravity)

capillaries and such in the head are sensitive. can't be good

there are long term studies done with volunteers, who are put in a slightly declined bed for months at a time, and I wouldn't participate in it

That experiment needed a test group, using a shamwow Big smile

Shamwow jam should be playing through it too Cool

Ah! But vacuum wasn't specified, now was it? P
Not just air circulation, but even any tiny incremental motion not precisely damped out would be a problem too. G-fields are pretty good at that sort of thing. Blink

though I suppose if someone let me go into space, I would look past the blood pressure thing
