@dantheclamman well, we already could do that in a vacuum chamber on earth. I'm turn between appreciating the impulse to have a bit of fun exploring the new frontier and being somewhat miffed that they spent really valuable time doing something trivial like that
@dantheclamman oh, I get it. NASA's public education and outreach mission is foundational, and this kind of thing is relatable to the public regardless of whether it was scientifically important.
It's just that fault-finding is my speciality 😁
@2ck part of the space program's mission is scientific inspiration, so it wasn't a waste
