Experiments in Fizzy Carbonated Beverages and Minty Chewiness

I know we've all seen the reaction you get when you combine Mentos and Diet Coke.  I don't know what inspired me to share these videos now, other than to say it really impresses me that people dedicate this much time and energy to this.  Whatever the reason they do it, I have to admit that the result is pretty flippin cool!

And sticky.

Tweets in Space!

Do you want to send your message to the stars?  Here's how you can!

On Friday September 21, 2012, log onto Twitter and add #tweetsinspace to your message. Now remember, timing is of the essence.  This must be done 8:30 – 9:00 PM Mountain Time, or 7:30-8PM PST; 9:30-10PM CST; 10:30-11PM EST.  I know all these time zones can make life confusing when it comes to coordinating an interstellar event like this, so thanks to the people at Tweets in Space for spelling it out so clearly on their webpage.

To learn more, watch this groovy video!  It's fun to watch, and the little girl at the end is WAY too cute!
