The crew who completed this task had the following things to say:

“WOW look how fast the bubbles started!” “Oh wow, the wind pulled the bubbles off the sock, look, we have bubbles everywhere.”

When asked to clean up and dispose of the materials, one participant said: “This was fun, I want to keep the materials to do this again!”
