Who would’ve thunk that the latest state-of-the-art invention by NASA would be a zero G coffee cup? NASA astronaut Don Pettit invented the cup on his day off aboard the International Space Station based on the shape of a rocket fuel tank that enables you to drink every last drop of a liquid without a straw in zero gravity.

Pettit arrived at the ISS from the shuttle Endeavour, to deliver a urine-to-water recycling system as well as other needed supplies.

Just think, right now he’s drinking coffee, next week he’ll be drinking his own pee!
