Impermanence is the Only Thing that Works in Fahrenheit Around Here
by Sara Adams
that fluid doesn鈥檛 go anywhere
in a micro-gravity situation,
a coffee cup we鈥檙e sending to the International Space Station
has a theoretical efficiency of 30%
because of evapo-transportation
and bioluminescence
and how a glo-stick works
that test is no longer ongoing
but
if you have an infinitely long straw
you get a second chance
at it
