[0:00]Let's see what we're going to pull out. So, This is Jeremy's dinner and in space you really just eat all of your food out of bags of some kind, plastic bags or little metallic bags because we have to rehydrate a lot of our food. This is actually shrimp cocktail and this has been rehydrated already. So we added water to it and the shrimp soaked back up the water and it's actually pretty tasty. This is an example of a food that has not been rehydrated yet. It got all dried out for flying up here in space and those are green beans. So we do have to eat our vegetables even in space, but don't worry they do give us mac and cheese. But if you ever just see a little drop of water on your finger, uh, even though it it it looks like a, uh, convex little drop on your finger, in space that that surface tension is all around. So it just creates a perfect bubble because there's no gravity to to act on it. Um, and so it just stays in this perfect sphere and it actually becomes a lens and earlier today we were laughing because we could make Jeremy's face go upside down or right side up and uh, it's pretty amazing. It's it's fun to play with water in space.
