So...Kris' post got me thinin' (ok, yeah , I posted it in her blog as well)

What happens when you sweat in space?

Because there is no gravity it shouldn't stick to your skin and drip down...right?

But will is just spew out ala Play-Doh in a fuzzy pumper barber shop?

hmmm....sometimes I think too much....

it would still stick to your skin as you have a gravitational mass and so does the sweat:

F = G [ m1 x m2 / r x r ]

Where F = force of attraction between the two objects, m1 is mass of object1, m2 is the mass of object 2 and r is the distance between the centers of mass of the two objects. G is 6.672x10-11 N.m2/kg2 (Universal Gravitational Constant)

So, now you know.
