Science/Technology: Astronauts Capture Super-High Def Images Of Seltzer Tablets Bubbling In A Drop Of Water In Space (Video)

November 12, 2015

Okay, this some ‘stoner’ looking stuff. Hahaaaa! That is NOT to say that it is not still cool as hell. Einstein’s theories aside, in space sometimes you have a lot of time. What to do…what to do with it… Got it! Why not let loose a sizable droplet of water on the International Space Station, inject it with small drops of liquid coloring, then dissolve an effervescent tablet (e.g. an Alka-Seltzer) in the floating ball of colorful water, and capture images of the action/reactions using a super-duper high-definition camera. And if you are really slick, you can tie it into the astronaut work you are supposed to be doing up there on the station.

The cameras are being evaluated for capturing science data and vehicle operations by engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

See? They weren’t just playing plop-plop, fizz-fizz with dyed water up there. The astronauts were exploring water tension in microgravity. It’s science!
