    When Dr. Don Pettit lived aboard the International Space Station in 2002, he became known for his "Saturday Morning Science" sessions, during which he would demonstrate really cool, simple microgravity experiments.

    Earlier this month, Pettit returned to space, this time as member of space shuttle Endeavour's crew on a mission to upgrade the outpost. After 10 days of hard work, the STS-126 crew got some time off Sunday morning and Pettit took the opportunity to film a special episode of Saturday, err, Sunday Morning Science.

    In his video, which he later narrated for Mission Control, Dr. Pettit demonstrated his take on a zero-gravity coffee cup...

    @BeNeath0 If you were to actually watch the video, he said he made it himself by using his knowledge of surface tension and the way liquids react with objects and he used a "little piece of plastic from on of the fdf books." The only money spent here was on his education and that book. It's not whiskey either I can guarantee that, why would NASA allow their astronauts to get intoxicated? Think about what you say sometime.

    @BeNeath0 You do realize that the made that themselves, right? Instead of being a total asshole, appreciate what these people are doing.

    @highvoltge422 I know, but sometimes taking people's jokes seriously can be a lot of fun as well

    @notpointed i also think waste would be a problem with a bag, since the cup is refillable. I was just making a joke

    @MrWaddefak sometimes real life can be so absurd and unbelievable that you think it's made up

  • notpointed

    @highvoltge422 because they're not boiling hot and you're not in micrigravity

    @ipwnyorass No, your throat muscles push it down. My anatomy professor drank coffee through a straw while doing a hand stand to demonstrate this. lol

    It's crazy how much engineering can go into making a simple coffee cup... Space travel is amazing in every aspect, particularly the contributions it makes to every day life

    "Now you don't have to sup coffee from a bag" then later on they call the "cup" a bag
