One small sip for man, one giant espresso machine on board the ISS

Coffee machine designed to brew coffee in zero-gravity. Named the ISSpresso, this machine took a lot of engineering to complete, but is just an experiment for what is to come.

SPACE CUPS!! New weird looking cups are being designed that don't need gravity to work. The cups utilize surface tension in order to direct the flow of liquid into the user's mouth. In other words, no more sipping out of bags for the astronauts. Hmm... I wonder if toothbrushes are next.  ;)
There are two types of countries, those that use the metric system, then that one that has been to the moon.
