I was going to say "OK then explain why they had to spend millions
developing fizzy drink you could drink in space", but that's actually
brought up a more pressing question...

If coke is such a great thing for cleaning jewellery, loosening over
tightened nuts, cleaning blood off stuff etc, how is it as a paint
