==Drop Dynamics Experiments==
As I was putting this chapter together, I had difficulty documenting the various drop dynamics experiments that have been conducted by astronauts in various Earth-orbiting (zero-<math>g</math>) environments.  Here is the relevant information I found:
* Skylab 3 and 4 (circa 1973-1974):  Experiments showing the ''fission'' of liquid drops were evidently conducted during both the Skylab 3 and Skylab 4 missions. 
** As has been documented in a short film review written by Howard Voss and published in the [http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.10227 American Journal of Physics (44/10, 1021, Oct 1976)], film footage from a variety of Skylab experiments was produced by NASA, edited by Thomas Campbell &amp; Robert Fuller, and, beginning in 1976, distributed as 12 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_8_film Super 8] film loops by the [http://www.aapt.org/ American Association of Physics Teachers] (AAPT).
