RW#@>        Just one question. In the beginning they show the bottle of
RW#@>champane turning end over end though orbital space towards the ship. First
RW#@>off wouldn't teh liquid have frozen? Seconly champane is under pressure in
RW#@>teh bottle. That would have cause the bottle to explod in the near vacum o
RW#@>space.


Depends on how long it has been in space.  Remember the mechanics of
cooling:  The heat is transferred, as motion, to the molecules that come
into contact with the surface.  There are very few molecules or atoms in
space.  So, does the cold emptiness of space speed or retard the cooling
of the liquid?  The rest is technique.   |)

The bottle will not explode because very little has changed.  Say that
there was originally 200 # PSIG in the bottle.  Under normal atmosphere,
there is 0# PSIG on the outside of the bottle, a difference of
200 # pressure.  In space, there is -14 # PSIG on the outside,
for a difference of 214 # pressure:  Not much of a change.
