here water's being used as a conductor of heat not electricity. you might as well use some sort of coolant fluid with better heat transfer properties insted of plain water.
sure, there are any number of references on this matter. here's one: http://noda.scripps.edu/recpapers/Papers/122.pd f if you coexpress the components in a bacterial cell, the assembly reaction is autocatalytic. any book on basic virology can tell you that. and yeah, there're lot's of things in nature that defy the obvious.
it's been known for quite some time that if you put all the components of a virus in a solution they're capable of reassembling into a functional virus. i think they proved that first with the tobacco mosaic virus back in the 50's. it's a very useful concept, people use it for packaging genes into viral vectors and using them to transduce cells. one particular application is gene therapy.
oh! really.... people have been using pigments from trees and animals to colour stuff from ages. 1930 is a little too recent in that sense don't you think:)
There are lots of interesting experiments that can be done in a space station that are almost impossible to perform on earth. For example effect of zero gravity on development of various organisms which might help in possibly designing a 'space colony' of sorts. That might be more useful than a manned mission to Mars which in all likelyhood won't accomplish much more than what all those unmanned probes have managed to over the years.
or people misuse free-beer services....
linuxstart(www.linuxstart.com) had to close down it's free mail coz some people did something of that sort, don't remember exactly. it was fast and used to be pretty convienient.

hardly, that's a common misconception. it's not forbidden or anything.
