Very cool stuff but being so far from home etc, you'd think there'd be concern for the droplets that head off in different directions coming in contact w/ some of the electrical gizmos everywhere around them?

Looked like the other astronaut in the background had a rag in his hand -- maybe he was &quot;collecting&quot; the drops that may have gotten away ... The TAZ

Are they using the toilet Howard Wolowitz designed?
On the lose droplets thing, counting on buddy seems foolish as it'd be tough to catch more than one at once?
With such serious $ involved also circumstances that could result, it's hard not to wonder if this would be an approved experiment or bored and reckless playtime?

It was a planned experiment, suggested by mere mortals. I would think that the specs of every thing in space craft would be water proof/resistant.

cool experiment to be sure!
