I predicted drops would fly off as the cloth was twisted. I was completely wrong.
They probably would have flown off had he twisted it faster.
Yes, but then one could predict - from the abundance of wiring in the background - that he would not twist it fast. (I seen video before this thread).
Me, too, though I thought of them as blobs rather than drops.
Likewise, and I still think they would have if he'd rapidly twisted it as the momentum of being expelled from the towel would have overcome the surface tension.
However, if I had thought longer, I might have considered that this would have been a huge pain, and thus accurately predicted that the astronaut would do it slowly instead.
