NASA To Make A Bonfire In Space

NASA intend to burn a cargo ship in space to observe how things happen up there in the case of a fire.
They want to see how fire might spread in microgravity environments.
It is going to be started in a service spaceship after it delivers its last cargo to the International Space Station.

The experiment will come in handy for future space missions but what if it goes wrong and comes to Earth with a bang :lol:

We will be all looking out for it.
By the way it would just burn up once it finally returns to earth.
And more to the point...................

I suppose we need experiments like this.
