  • But, will this work with the celebratory champagne or do the bubbles screw it up? ;-) Seriously, very interesting stuff for us laymen (or women, in my case). I'm gobsmacked, as the Brits would say, that in my lifetime we've gone from grainy black and white pics of the moon landing, to being able to watch clips such as this on my computer. Ain't life grand? Don't forget to watch tonight, kids, as the moon, Jupiter, and Venus line up in their closest visit for the next 40 years. Space rules!

  • there is already liquid in the stomach so it would just mix with it.

    it seems like digestion doesn't need gravity to work out.

  • NASA should just invent artificial gravity. It would makes everything so much easier.

  • It's like a real life invention exchange on Mystery Science Theater 3000! MST3K FTW!

  • thank you darth vader

  • It makes me happy for the human race but sad that i will never get to experience it in my lifetime :(

  • SCIENCE!!!

  • Nah, it'll mix with the acid in your stomach, and since the process of digestion, uses enzymes, no matter what, so long as the acid and the liquid mix, it'll digest, then transfer what's needed to your bloodstream.

    After that, the body will push the waste down where it should go. Gravity doesn't really bother the human digestive system, almost as if we're already ready to live in space... weird

  • Air Pressure's the name of the game my boy.
