Video: Astronaut Designs Coffee Cup for SpaceStumble This


NASA astronaut Don Pettit saw fit to ensure that the weightless environment of space no longer poses major problem for those that want to enjoy a nice cup of coffee. He designed a cup in the shape of an aircraft wing, that causes the liquid to climb predictably up the side of the cup when it is tilted to a certain angle. The effect is that the coffee rises up the side of the cup and pours itself slowly into your mouth, presumably a nice change to sucking it out of a bag. [Core77]
