Hanners looks nothing like Ivanova!

At least she hasn't equated herself to being a God......yet.

God damn it, you people have ruined me.  My first thought upon seeing the container of space tea was "I wonder if it contains the same space-ingredients as space ham".

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go put on my space-robe and do some space-penance, then maybe I'll hit up space-Denny's for some not!space-ham.  Because seriously, who in their right mind actually eats space ham?

Yes!  We get it!  You're in space!

They just taste less-good in general. That being said, they're a lot easier to clean up after than using leaves. I freaking hated cleaning tea filters at my old job.

Actually no liquid, i.e. water, is quite easy to handle in space.

Theres YouTube videos about it, with astronauts showing how water behaves in micro gravity.

Basically water thanks to its surface pressure tends to actually stay in one place. Which it surrounds, but it stays there, unless disturbed with enough force.

The real problem with liquids in microgravity is that there's no natural convection and, worse, the bubbles have nowhere to go so you have to stir the kettle or it takes forever to fully boil.

Not necessarily since boiling would depend on the method used for heating.

I find magnetic induction gives nice even heating throughout the mass of whatever you are trying to heat.

I find it interesting that Marten is the only one who looks like he hasn't been blown completely away by Hanner's off-screen scream.

Then again, he might already have slight hearing loss from hearing her two-non-consecutive-prime-number drumming...

Hanners nuked the site from orbit.

Is that covered under the rental insurance?

Maybe, but I wouldn't count on the payout if they ahve the same insurer as Davan.

In any event, it was the only way to be sure.

I sort of imagine the Hannersplosion being a little bit like a basilisk image, only voiced. It happens so utterly rarely that, when she finally goes off, all that pent up pressure turns in to something altogether different, and terrible to behold. A combination of too much exposure to the CoD staff and their swearing habits, unchecked anxiety, and an extreme dislike of her friends fighting caused her to spontaneously forge the Ultimate Swear, and now their brains are recoiling in horror and attempting to reboot.

loose leaf tea could create quite a mess in micro-gravity, so bags make sense. however, being the finest space tea, they're probably made of nylon or silk, rather than paper like regular space teabags.

Finest Space Tea should become a poll option.

The space station spins and the food service area is not in microgravity. They could brew tea the old-fashioned way.

I sort of imagine the Hannersplosion being a little bit like a basilisk image, only voiced. It happens so utterly rarely that, when she finally goes off, all that pent up pressure turns in to something altogether different, and terrible to behold. A combination of too much exposure to the CoD staff and their swearing habits, unchecked anxiety, and an extreme dislike of her friends fighting caused her to spontaneously forge the Ultimate Swear, and now their brains are recoiling in horror and attempting to reboot.

I like the idea of an audio basilisk (and welcome to the forum).

This is why the way Jeph did it is such good storytelling. Instead of limiting it to what actually happened, he left the door open to every possibility.

Ms. Reed is here to see Jim, and that would be straightforward, as much as any relationship startup ever is. There's an easy way Jeph could make it more tangled and painful. She has a wide spectrum of people she's attracted to. What if she gets distracted on her way to meet Jim?
