Beer In Space

Matthew Moyle-Croft wrote to us regarding a very important development concerning the consumption of beer in space. I'm going to sleep easier knowing this *grin*. Update: 12/22 06:07 AM by T : Thanks to alert reader toad (who was not drinking within sight) for the updated URL.

Yes, yes... the link went bad apparently, but I found it here

Also, the story refers to an original article in New Scientist magazine, which can be found here, although for some reason the link is down for me right now.

It took them three years to develop that? Maybe they tested it too much.

I can see that drinking games in space will be oh so much more fun. Can we say Pac Man?

Why did this trivial crap get posted while.....

[deglr6328]

an important space story like THIS gets ignored?

IMHO this is pretty serious, if Cassini is forced to use the Reaction Control Subsystem instead of it's gyros for the rest of the mission, I dont see how it could possibly have enough fuel to complete the original length Saturnian tour. And would therefore put the entire 3.4 Billion mission in jeopardy.

but...but....
