SPACE WINE RETURNING TO EARTH

There is a SpaceX capsule returning to Earth form the Space Station today (Wednesday). In its cargo hold will be a case of French Bordeaux. The wine has been aging in outer space for more than a year as part of an experiment launched by a Luxembourg-based startup company. It’s not clear what the experiment was, except to study the affect of space on wine. A couple bottles of the Bordeaux will be opened for a tasting — followed by months of chemical testing.
* You just know they’re gonna open the case and find a few bottles missing.
* How much wine did they have before they thought up this dopey idea?
* It’s got to be next to impossible to stomp grapes with your bare feet in zero gravity.
* So that’s the space wine update. Anybody know how the Space Station pot plants are doing?
