A new meaning to the term "Space Bar"

Quote:

A Scottish whiskey distillery recently began a two-year experiment to answer maybe the most important question in human history: does zero gravity make alcohol taste more excellent? Thanks to the heroes on the International Space Station, we'll soon have an answer.

Check it out!

Wonder how much a bottle of Sapce Rum will cost?

Pfft. And people say there's no reason for manned space exploration.

I wondered when the Finnish part of the ESA budget would get used!

I don't see why the iss crew shouldn't be allowed to drink, in moderation of course. Drunk dialing at home gets you a fight. Drink dialing there de-orbits the station.

But at least for research purposes, etoh effects in micro g should be studied.

Could lead to new laws such as....drunk in charge of a spaceship
