Japan delivers whiskey to space station - for science

They should drink a shot to check out its effects in micro gravity.

Japanese whisky is improving by leaps and bounds - this may be one more way of beating the jocks at their own game.

Not a whisky drinker are you?

I wonder what would happen if you opened a can of beer on board the ISS?

LOL give it a good ole shake and everyone would get plastered.

Whiskey stored for a year in zero gravity would perhaps give one that floating feeling, imagine how much a we dram would cost down here on the ground.

Of course they won't take a sip... not before the karaoke machine was also delivered!

Imagine taking the shuttle back down after several large ones.......

Personally it sound like a bit daft and will result in some naf gimmick like "space whiskey" to be sold and inflated prices.

If it can make Japanese whisky, which I think is already excellent, even better, hats off to the idea!

interesting, looking forward to the outcome

Whiskey should be study in space to see if astronauts who drink daily are more resistant to stress. This could help establish if drinking whiskey could help deliver first astronauts to Mars.

Sounds like they are going to sell them for a big amount of money.

Headline should read " for scientist".

I don,t think there is a 7&iholdings onboard the space-station to spend it ?

Q:

Do you get more drunk in space? Let's find out!

A:

The six astronauts won’t be sneaking a sip. It’s all for science.

No gravity + drunk= AWSOMENESS

Purely for scientific reasons I'm sure he said, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

For relaxing times - make it Suntory times.

Suntory Global Innovation Center in Tokyo wants to see if alcoholic beverages mellow the same in space as they do on Earth.

That would be too expensive on a large scale
