California: In an engaging virtual interaction with students, renowned astronaut Sunita Williams demonstrated the fascinating process of drinking liquids in zero gravity. The event, aimed at inspiring young minds, showcased how astronauts adapt to the unique challenges of space life.
Williams, who has spent over 322 days in space, used a specially designed drink pouch to illustrate how liquids behave in a microgravity environment. She explained that without gravity, liquids form floating globules, making traditional drinking methods impossible. Instead, astronauts use straws and sealed containers to manage their hydration needs.
The demonstration captivated the students, who eagerly asked questions about life aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Williams emphasized the importance of STEM education and encouraged students to pursue their dreams, no matter how out-of-this-world they may seem.
