Final barrier to colonization of space conquered!

From this week’s News of the Weird, exerped from New Scientist:

A team of researchers from the Netherlands’ Delft University of Technology announced in December that after nearly four years of research, it had solved the perplexing problem of how to store and pour draft beer on zero-gravity space stations. The team injects carbon dioxide against a flexible membrane inside the keg, which forces the beer out without commingling the liquid and the gas (as is done in the conventional keg) and provides the additional benefit of ejecting the beer in liquid chunks the size of table tennis balls.

That’s too cool! I SO want to get drunk in zero g now!

I, for one, am terribly proud of those Dutch people. I mean, they’ve done SO MUCH for modern western civilisation already, and now THIS!

Take off your hats, hand on heart, and sing the Wilhelmus, dammit.

That tears it, I’m immigrating there. Now this is a country that has it’s priorities straight.

Three questions:

1. Do we call it a “Cosmo Keg”?

2. What happens when ya drink so much that ya yak? How’s that getting cleaned up?

3. And what about them pesky zero-G hangovers?
