Fire Burns Differently In Space

New submitter black6host writes with this interesting snippet from Space.com: "NASA is playing with fire on the International Space Station ? literally. Since March 2009, the space agency's Flame Extinguishment Experiment, or FLEX, has conducted more than 200 tests to better understand how fire behaves in microgravity, which is still not well understood. The research could lead to improved fire suppression systems aboard future spaceships, and it could also have practical benefits here on Earth, scientists said."
