Astronaut Donald Pettit, like most stressed office workers, likes to have a cup of coffee on the morning of work, but unlike us, he can only drink coffee from foil bags because of the lack of gravity, rather than sipping hot coffee slowly like us. To fulfill his desire to drink coffee on the space shuttle STS-126, he teamed up with designer Travis Baldwin to develop a coffee cup that could overcome weightlessness!

From the photos, you can see that this coffee cup uses surface tension phenomenon to make coffee not affected by gravity, obediently ready in the coffee cup. In the future, I believe that those who intend to spend a lot of money to travel to outer space will be able to enjoy leisure time in space while drinking coffee, in addition to operating stocks from outer space.
