Don't we know this stuff already. Sure this is on his time off and all, maybe work on stuff we don't know.

Actually, he sounds like a dork.
That's a compliment, mind you. His dorkiness got him a gig as an astronaut.

Probable answer to challenge q: Because of the surface tension water cannot disperse into several small droplets, and since water is almost incompressible the shape alters between a potato and a pancake(:/).My 0.50
