Fizzy Drinks in Space

Pop goes the Challenge. Would you get fizzy drinks in space? Richard explores this amazing bit of science with a water bag and some bubbles. In space your drinks won’t fizz because there is no up direction for the gas bubbles to go in. Shame really, no market for fizzy drinks in space, but better you know that now!
