- I know I already answered this once but I just remembered an actual
- event somewhat along these lines. A few years ago a Russian
- spacecraft had a problem: Some water somehow got loose and was
- floating around the crew compartment. It was of course in a more
- or less spherical shape, held together by surface tension. The
- danger was that it would find something it shouldn't and "pop" all
- over it, soaking important equipment. Two quick-thinking cosmonauts
- solved the problem by getting one on each side of it and drinking it.
