Playing with fire can be dangerous, yeah we all know it, but we are not talking about a child, it's about astronauts. Recently in the past week astronauts, on board the International Space Station have intentionally lit a series of blazes in research designed to study the behaviour of flames in zero gravity. The scientists behind the experiment, called Confined Combustion, say it will help improve fire safety on the ISS.
