Blowing on video games and garbage in space. It's a miniature edition of Ask Science Mike.

You got questions, he's got answers, even though we may not understand, he'll talk anyway.

problems, he won't solve it.

But I'll talk and talk and talking

until the flu is the face.

Science, faith, and life, I say it's Mike.

Okay, hi friends, it's gonna be a short edition of the show this week.

It's really early in the morning and I'm in a hotel room in Orlando recording on my iPhone.

I almost didn't do an episode of the show this week but I didn't want to break our

streak. The show's been going

a long time without missing any episodes. But my dad actually had a stroke yesterday, so I ran

out of the house, I didn't have time to grab podcasting equipment.

So just so that your Monday is not completely empty and so that we continue the streak of

science Mike.

I'm going to answer two questions from Twitter. No notes. Just kind of off the top of my head. And we'll have a show this week. But if you're a person that prays, I would appreciate if you pray for my dad.

He's a very strong person mentally and physically, and right now he's half paralyzed.

Now he could recover fully.

We don't know, it's too early. This only happened yesterday.

But if you're a person who prays, I would appreciate it if you prayed for my dad this

week. With that, let's get it started. So the first question comes from Eric L. Anderson on Twitter who asks,

Would organic garbage rot in space? and then he includes a reference to an article from

McSweeny's which critiques the design of the Trash Compactor and the Death Star in Star Wars, which is hilarious because it's a pretty effective critique.
