Stones Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I came across this interesting article that was posted in the Kentucky Kernel last year, not sure if it had been posted here before, i searched SB but was unable to find a reference. Anywho, it's a brief article that touches on the 10 octillion bottles of 200-proof alcohol floating in space and this professor relates it to alcohol, namely bourbon.Article here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramiel McHinson Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Now we know why NASA spends billions of dollars trying to get into space. They have located the mother load of alcohol. The new space race is on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorvallisCracker Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I hate to be the bearer of bad news (no, really, I do), but most alcohol in space is methanol. See this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chu'Wuti Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Yeah, I wouldn't want to drink methanol. It'd take a lot of $$$$ & trouble to try to collect all the alcohol, anyway--I'll just take the easy route here on Earth!Gotta try something new soon!

Hawg73 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Yes but are there any bottling plants in space? That is the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
