Being old I remember Sputnik and the uproar it brought. So always get a kick out of this stuff. Hope you enjoy.

Neat!
I sure hope the engineers and designers of the space station considered and accounted for unchambered fluid experiments. Not sure I would want fluid globs roaming the cabin brimming with electronics. Then again, I'm not up there...
