Astronaut demonstrates drinking coffee in space
 

Dec 1, 2008 - Ever wonder how difficult it is to drink coffee in a weight less environment? Well its apparently more difficult than we think. And interestingly enough, its one that may not even involve coffee itself - but rather the cup!

Luckily, creative engineers have devised a way to that allow astronauts to enjoy their Cup of Joe by simply getting rid of the coffee cup altogether and creating a "coffee bag" based on airplane wing technology. Who would of known? Everything works just fine so long as the bag's sharp angle is less than "two times 90 minus the contact landing angle"  - the coffee  will automatically creep up.
