Right before she was about to touch the pill, she stopped herself and asked Roxanne if it was really a good idea for her to touch the pill because even though she had gloves on, she worried that if it was really so sensitive that just a .05% difference made a difference when eating it that if she touched and accidentally compressed it when she grabbed it would she by accident ruin it.
Luckily it seemed that the powder she added to the liquid made it safe enough for her to touch based on the response that she had gotten from Roxanne, which was a good thing since she wasn't quite sure how she would be able to interact with the pill in no gravity if she wasn't able to touch it.
