Two high school students posed the question "what would happen if you wring out a wet waschcloth in space" and an astronaut aboard the International Space Station conducted the experiment which resulted in a rather beautiful moment in space.
The experiment, called "Wring It Out" was designed by two 10th-graders in Nova Scotia. Kendra Lamke and Meredith Hatfield won a contest sponsored by the Canada Space Agency to come up with an experiment for an astronaut to perform in micro-gravity.
According to the two students, they hypothesized that water from a wrung-out washcloth would not drip off but rather would remain on the cloth.

Watch the video below to see what happens when you wring out a wet washcloth in space: VIDEO
We are completely broke. I question any expenditure in space.
I expected shorted out circuits and bad joo joo
I find myself worrying about what will happen when one of those errant water droplets gets into the electrical panels that surround him.
Probably the most worth-while thing to come out of the ISS endeavor.
i wonder about toilet paper in space?
Water and circuits generally aint good
Been there done that

One of the early astronauts let a turd get loose LOL
Mayhem ensued LOL
That was on Apollo 10. Funny story.
Hey, **** happens LOL
That’s cool.
Zero gravity
Surface tension... but we already knew it from much earlier missions where astronauts played with liquid globs.
I am always shocked at how many submariners, fighter pilots race car drivers say they would never go into space.
Sign me the eff up!
My friend used to devise these experiments for the shuttle
She had it fun and used toys tat worked on physics
Is that where the expression “picking up a turd by the clean end” came from?
Damn Canadians wanted to play hockey.
They had to cut the sticks down to stow in the cargo space allotted
You aint lived till you had a Nantucket Sleigh ride on a sub doing angles and dangles shooting the passageway on a wool blanket LOL
They shut all that down when some bubblehead boomer fa**ot busted his noggin on the ships inertial navigation
I do not know LOL
What do free, unrestrained boobs look like in space? That’s what i want to know.
