Scientists at NASA, paid over $100K a year, approves an experiment on the ISS suggested by a layperson to show what happens when an astronaut in zero gravity takes their life support supply of drinking water, squirts it into a newly unwrapped towel, discarding the plastic seal, then wrings it out.
Looks to me like somebody didn't use their allotted quarter wisely and purchased an incorrect clue, for if I remember my electronics class in high school correctly, water and electricity don't mix very well here on Earth, but maybe that truism doesn't apply in zero gravity inside a multi-billion dollar space station.
