It would be funnier (and more useful due to deflation) if the government just burned the money that is currently paying for this useless bullshit.

#14There 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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hj3GnPRsJ4 In short: Tissues of various sizes which can then be hanged somewhere and evaporate the water.
Today I learned the ISS has baby-wipes aboard it.

#16That was amazing.
On a side note, and not complaining about this at all, how much did it cost to get that water to the space station? I guess that bag had maybe 300 ml?

Tissues can be hanged somewhere on a clip, water evaporates, is picked up by dehumidifiers of the spaceship, goes back to the water system and purified back into drinking water.

I guess they meant getting the drinking water to the space station in the first place. Water doesn't really compress well (unlike the hockey puck rag) and also weighs quite a bit so sending it up should be pretty costly.

I was really suprised to see them in the original package. One would think they had applied some form of vacuum sealed pressured bag or something to minimize space, or had special designed wipes with material that’s light weight.
I guess not everything up there is special space stuff. Some of it is just the same stuff as in the local Grocery store.

All those random messy wires in the background really stressed me out.
