Who would have thought so much math goes into making a cup for space.

The world is going bankrupt and about to collapse on itself and this is what your astronauts are doing. So you dont have to suck it out of a bag...but ur just fucking sucking it out of a plastic cup that looks like a bag!

i dunno, i thought it was a neat idea, the liquid always rises to that one part of the top because of its shape. fuck all you haters, your just jealous because your not smart enough to design airplane wing cups

I like the principal behind this. With the surface tension always forcing the liquid to the thin side of the cup but this it completely pointless in application. how is this any different than using a bag? honestly!! still fun to watch though.

That very interesting!
I am actually going through a BUNCH of applications that they needed to think about.
Such as their engine fluids. Hydrolic fluids.

You know Nasa is smart. But it`s when you see/think about the crazy shit they had to Surpass, that makes you ohhh and Ahhhh.

5/5 for the video.

Plus EA Gamer, +10 for you!
