Australians pride themselves on drinking beer just about anywhere and for any occasion - but what about in space?
A Queensland astrochemist believes beer and the cosmos are more closely linked than we would have first thought.
James Cook University's Centre for Astronomy director, Dr Andrew Walsh, combines his two passions - beer brewing and space study - to bring his science "down to earth".
His research involves identifying different substances, molecules and chemicals in space and in doing that has he discovered many of the chemical ingredients in beer are out there.

Beer goes hand in hand with exploration. What was one of the first establishments in the old western frontier?
Uh huh, the saloon.
You put a pub in space (or Mars or where ever) and watch the people come.

In the heavens, there is no beer-
For now, we drink it here.
And when we’ve gone from here,
Our kids will be out there drinking beer...

Oh, man! What an opening for me! :)
Let’s see...
“It must be LONELY in space!”
Or, how about ...
“If you burp in space and nobody hears you, is it REALLY
a burp?”
Oh, my! :^D

No, it’s just self-propulsion. ;)
Don’t ask how you counter your backward motion. ;)
Hint: Methane is the mono-propellant involved. :)
