    True, but just in case, would still rather have the 100 beers. Plus if I know more beers are coming I can worry less about rationing the beers

      Nah. Heat is a real issue on the space station. Maybe a 6 pack for the three Xonauts that were up there, but excess sweating and excess heat production is a real concern for the ISS, or really any spacecraft, they have heatsinks that stick into a vacuum, and that is the problem. The vacuum is only ≈3K, or -270.15° C, but a vacuum is not particularly receptive to heat dispersal. Up on the ISS or any other spacecraft, you really wouldn’t want alcohol at all. It would absolutely cause you to burn too hot, causing excess heat to be introduced into the system.

      Weed edibles should be a better option. Specifically NOT flower or concentrates since even a vape is going to be introducing, potentially, too much heat into the craft.

      Actually, I wanna see some Xonauts do some Shrooms.
