Best Answer

Because there is no gravity in space, and because liquids' natural shape is a sphere; water, or any other liquid for that matter, in the zero-gravity of space will automaticly transform into a floating ball of liquid if not contained. For example, because your blood is contained in your veins and there is no air in your blood vessels, your blood will not do this.


lol, no.


the oxygen in the water would expand rapidly, aka boil. then it would intermediately freeze and turn into a cloud of ice.
