There were so many wires and electronics in the background and the water was floating everywhere! Nothing to worry?

Someone in the comments on that site posted the following video that details how they clean up spills:

In short: Tissues of various sizes which can then be hanged somewhere and evaporate the water.

I did a talk yesterday with one of those headset radio mics, and all through that video I kept thinking "I want a floating microphone next time". No matter what you say, a floating microphone will hold the audience :-)

No matter what you say, anything floating around you holds the audience. If I were an astronaut, I would just spend all day to goof and play around with everything possible :)

Q. What is this video about?

A. Its about: Magic. - a cloth unravelling out of a hockey puck - water turning to jello - things and people suspended in air - water flowing against gravity - happening somewhere in space

Magical. An neat little experiment proposed by 2 highschoolers!
