From the brains behind brains on, this is the moment of um. Moment of on one comes to you from APM Studios. I'm Marty McFly and I'm in Eastern

Bluebird.

Um, I was just rewatching my favorite movie the 1985 sci-fi comedy Back to the future.

Have I ever mentioned that I had a starring role in it? I'm serious. Here watch this. Right there. See? I'm sitting in a tree in the opening scene.

Abby was wondering the same thing.

Tell us quickly, I'm wait for my first rehearsal.

Empe, I'm a professor of astronomy at the University of Arizona. If you just took up a fish tank, a regular fish tank,

into the International Space Station that had fish in it and it's managed they

survived the launch or whatever and suddenly you're in orbit, It would be bad for the fish because water,

the gravity would not affect the water,

and water tends to beat up and form little globules in zero gravity,

so all the water in the fish tank

would just just float out of the fish tank and turn into little globules and the

fish would asphyxiate because it couldn't breathe. So that would be bad for the

fish. The fish would be floating around, but it couldn't survive.

The bird would be very unhappy because, I mean, there's air in the space station so that bird can breathe but all everything that it's ever learned
