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!

A retired coolant tank put into space by the ISS and NASA has unexpectedly reentered the Earth’s atmosphere off the coast of Australia. Luckily, the 1400lb tank came back over water and the atmosphere broke it into tiny pieces. No pieces larger than 15lbs are believed to have made it back intact.

NASA threw the tank overboard during a shuttle mission when it was deemed too volatile to bring back to Earth. Scientists believed the tank would find a way back into our atmosphere sometime in November so this comes as no surprise.
