Zero-Gravity Burrito


(YouTube link)

Assembling dinner in space is very different, but at least you don't have to worry about spilling. After all, spilling require gravity! -via I Am Bored

No, spilling requires three things, an object to be spilled, velocity and an object to spill upon. On earth spills usually occur on surfaces vertical to the ground, if we imagine a room as a box that is one surface out of six possible. In space, since there is no ground and no gravity, spills occur on six surfaces out of six possible.

You'd be amazed how dirty the international space station is, albeit not entirely because of spills but also other airborne particulate.
