Wringing out a wet towel in space

[XDguy]

I had a pretty good idea of what would happen but seeing it is really neat.

That was cool! I never thought it would do that. Great question/experiment from those kids!

Great experiment. I love this stuff lol, it's not just for kids!

 

[speedster]

Awesome! Hope they do more stuff like this. They outta pop a balloon!

That's cool.

Is it just me or did they do a horrible wiring job in there? Multi millions of dollars spent and I've seen better work at locals panel fab shops.

I always wondered why it looks like that inside those places too.

Thought it was b/c there's so much crap in there if it breaks they need to be able to see it?

I also thought it probably wouldn't be safe to wring out a wet rag there either lol

That is a value judgement on your part. Perhaps someone with expertise in the engineering that went into that module's construction can give us an idea.

Accessibility may be a reason but it also exposes the wiring to damage from things moving around inside.

I dunno, but it's a good question.

Fantastic video. You look at it and realize why the urinals on the station have a slight negative pressure on them.

Here is a link that I saw a few months ago. Pretty neat showing of the station.
