Zero Gravity Coffee Cup

This invention is so cool, and its not even for this planet!  The on-orbit zero gravity cup.  This coffee cup was created by Donald Pettit, an astronaut, during the mission STS-126.  Instead of using a straw to drink his morning java inside a heated alumnimum bag, he created a mug that can hold liquid in zero gravity.  Designer services were offered by Travis Baldwin to help him turn his idea into reality.  See below for the amazing pictures.
