I love coffee. Like, a lot. You know who else loves coffee? Astronauts! And also the people who help them do awesome things in space (I think NASA might be powered by coffee). But how do astronauts actually drink coffee in space, aboard the International Space Station, in microgravity? I visited astronaut Don Pettit to learn about his invention for having a cup o’ Joe in orbit. This is some awesome science.
#space #coffee #nasa
Special thanks to Don Pettit and NASA!
Don’s collaborator on this research is Mark Weislogel from Portland State University. Learn more about Mark’s research here: www.pdx.edu/profile/mark-weis...

Drinking my earth coffee, feeling the gravity of it all
Ha!

@@Dirt. idk it's been 2 years bruh
1. Put coffee powder in mouth
2. Put sugar in mouth
3. Pour cream in mouth
4. Pour hot water in mouth
5. Shake your face to mix all the ingredients
6. Drink in Mr. Bean way
@MomoTheBellyDancer Go ahead, feel free to ask them.
Instructions unclear, ended up with chalk stuck in my ear.
@@grace-qu9ks LMFAO!

How to drink coffee in space
- Me: Astronauts probably just use a straw and a plastic bag
- Astronauts: well, yes, but actually no
Coffee without caffeine or death
@@ferdaoussedaoudi3306
You can't make coffee healthy without removing the caffeine which is a literally a poison the coffee plant use for its survival.
@@user-uq4mx6od5l almost every biologically active molecule was invented to protect the plant. Capsaicin is technically a poison that peppers make to keep you from eating it. But peppers arent bad for you.
@@user-uq4mx6od5l but Iwhat about spices they are supposed to be a poison to protect themself too
@@user-uq4mx6od5l you’re using a pretty wide definition of poison there. It doesn’t accumulate toxins in insects, it just speeds up their circulation to the degree it explodes. We’re so many times bigger than insects that it just makes our heart speed up. That’s what a stimulant _does._ Everything is relative, we flush out caffeine faster than we intake it with coffee and tea, you’d have to take an obscene amount of caffeine pills to cause harm to your circulatory system (various autonomic and heart conditions excepted, of course). It doesn’t build up in the body like certain toxins do. What you’re espousing is essentially an absolutist view - that what is dangerous for one organism is dangerous for another, and all dangers are equally dangerous. But that’s just not how the world works. If you prefer how your body feels without caffeine; great! Good for you. But it’s no evidence of it being A Poison.
I gotta say, someone using pottery skills they learned from their mother to invent a coffee cup in space is one of the most beautifully human things I've ever heard of.
Right? Not to mention, I was borderline emotional at that part just thinking about how insanely remarkable and well rounded of a person each astronaut must be lol
yea same
@@CaptainDevilSticks I agree it's pretty amazing
It took him a while to think of this, but better latte than never.
👏
I don't talk to Joe, he steals coffee cups - I know, I saw his mug shot. Don't argue with me about this or I'll start a brew-haha.
Thank you for making my day, I will now re think my life from that inspiring comment.
i cant tell if purposefully mis-spelled late for latte
@@CallMeZelesi probably auto correct
"NASA is awesome!"
*shows picture of ESA astronaut*
😂😂😂
Well that is an awesome astronaut! :)

@@Carisus Where do you see dragon?
How does a carbonated beverage behave in a zero gravity environment?
I'd imagine it would perform the same as the coffee in the space cup, wouldn't be a good idea to keep it in a pressurized bottle though, unless you could design something that wouldn't let it explode.
Oooo yeah- but the bubbles would seriously screw with the surface tension (which is what helps it be stable in the cup)
Found a video
czcams.com/video/ZYPTo2H7WAI/video.html
It's funny you mention that.... mentalfloss.com/article/68367/time-coke-and-pepsi-brought-their-rivalry-outer-space
You'd be all right if you were in a hyperbaric chamber, in space- it would be fizzy and delicious.
Otherwise: badly, really, really badly.
Why aren't you calling it a "Cup of Joe"?
WHY JOE, WHY???
CZcams algorithm 😔, that is why
It's because he has uncle jokes
YES
It all stems from the bronks in nyc .. During the 29 depression an outta work cab driver was handing out paper cups with coffee and his logo to boost his cab efforts .. His name was joe ..
@@williamvolkmann8658 I love how many legends there are about all sorts of names for coffee. Joe, Jamoke, all of them. So many stories, and all of them insisting one definitive source. It’s a particular interest of mine, how communities and cultures generate these things.
Next Up: How to deal with explosive Diarrhea in space.
Just use the cup ;)
Have you ever seen how liquids behave in 0-G?
How would they deal with clostridium difficile
omg! oh noes!! 😅🤣😂
Jairo Gonzlez That’s essentially just a fancy word for Toxic, Radioactive, Anal Vapors Stinky, Squirting, Steaming Diarrhea.
A longer version of that OG design would be a great way to move water in zero g’s without having to use a pump. Like a pipe that has an acute angle on one side.
Exactly! That’s one of the applications they hope to develop
A winder one would be good for tea which needs more surface area to smell right.
Today's fact: Marmite was one of most confiscated items at airports from the U.K., to overcome this issue, Marmite made smaller ones for travelling.
Damn

It's that feeling you get after pooping in a wrong way.
Related fact: Airport security in Genoa will let larger containers of authentic pesto through customs than other liquids. 500 grams of pesto and the standard 100 ml for other liquids.
@MomoTheBellyDancer death...bread...oh like marmalade.
This was one of the coolest conversations I’ve ever had. Big thanks to Don for sharing this story with me! Remember I’m on Instagram and Twitter @drjoehanson & @okaytobesmart
at least you clipped out the problematic frames with the fake coffee, but worry not, here it is in all of its glory: czcams.com/video/pk7LcugO3zg/video.html
LOL
Yep
Don is definitely on the spectrum.... how did you keep your composure with this man?? He sounds like a my 8 year old is writing his script.
Missed opportunity: inspiration, perspiration, caffeination. Caffeination (International Space) Station.
Wow....I never thought of drinking like an important ritual... I think I'm going to drink carefully and gratefully from now on...
Apply that to posting and you'll be golden!
Joe had to feel the tingles of being able to be talking to Mr. Pettit while everyone else looked on far away from behind the glass on a tour route. lol
You need to balance the volume levels between your studio and places outside..
The problem is that they are using an overdone noise gate. Just lower the gate and put music over the dialogue so it's doesn't sound choppy.
Thanks, I can now revise for my exams in space
@G9 Yuvraj Deshmukh no u stupid I need to be rich enough to be able to afford a journey to space in the future with Space X
i didn't completely understand how the shape makes the liquid behave that way in 0g :(
still though that's a super clever use of unused plastic, free time during a mission, physics, and channeling frustration of not being able to smell your coffee lol!
if you ever eaten cheerios u notice that they tend to stick to walls and group up.
1. cheerios can swim because of bouyancy so they "swim" to the highest point they are able to reach.
2. because of water's molecurlar build it attracts itself (e.g water drops, said force forms dropplets). this force also works on its container. if you look closely you can see that your milk is higher where it touches the bowl. that's why cheerios stick to the walls and group up.
-----> they used the force of water attracting itself and since there is 0g gravity isn't holding the water back.
i hope i explained it well and have a nice day
At the molecular level, water molecules have a little bit of electrical charge. Because of this, water will "cling" to the edges of a container, kind of like static cling. This is strong enough that even in normal gravity in a normal cup, the water can creep up the side of the cup a bit. It might not be easy to see, but if you get a really thin glass container you can see that the surface goes up along the sides. The closer the sides, the more water will cling, and thus the further it will go. That's partially how plants get water up from their roots to their leaves; a bunch of microscopic straws (called xylem) suck up the water all the way along the plant. The clever thing here is using geometry to funnel this water flow toward a spot to drink, but also keep it in the container.
@@ltericdavis2237 I didn't get the geometry part
@@vaishali.kri. The first design has to edges that draw the water along the length. The second design makes it a more gradual, curved edge that slowly tapers to a point. This probably let it use the round part for the bulk holding of the fluid, but still draws the water to the tip
@@ltericdavis2237 so the 3rd one is like a bit improved version of the 2nd one?
I would say you really missed out on the chance to explain capillary action, and even surface tension in detail. It was more like, hey look science is cool, rather than, this is science.
Tridib Banerjee he already explained surface tension in another video forgot the name but you can check it out
Apple it was about why cereal sticks together
is that why coffee sticks to the side of the cup ? or does it have to do with gravity ? i would love if u could clarify cause i'm doing this subject for amyfinal oral exam :)
What happen to the audio levels :(
They dead . Just like fortnite .
@@ilovewolfs1238 proof that people will always find ways to bring up Fortnite in an attempt to make fun of it no matter where it is.
3:55 This coffee is nothing more than hot bean juice
- Don, the Iroh from an alternate universe
Don Pettit should consider selling that coffee cup design. I'd totally buy one !
I had heard of this. Thanks for loading the vid. I had been looking for this everywhere.
Keep up the good work 👍 ur doing great and teaching ppl all over the world
I'm gonna ask the most important question here: Where can I buy that cup? That thing looks cool and it'd be awesome to own The Space Mug.
FYI, if Don somehow managed to see this, I am being serious, I would definitely be interested in buying one of those Space Mugs.

thats the closest I found to his, unfortunately
Just cut a capri sun pouch open... same thing.
Years ago I saw in somebody's house a drinking "device" resembling a phallus. You might like that one better.
Inspiration, Perspiration...............Percolation. Really missed an opportunity there ;-)
This video was awesome! I think one of your best, most cohesive stories. Thanks for giving us great content to learn from and enjoy!
This channel deserves so much more followers. I love your content.
Coffee POWER!! (Good video to watch while preparing/consuming coffee this morning)
Enjoying my coffee as I'm watching this :)
Thank u for all the info..this channel is awesome
Best video yet. Loved it.
6:44 thats awkward lol look at joe’s hand
I think you should watch your video once after creating it. I thought the video stopped randomly, but in the end it turned out that the volume suddenly dropped when you went to the other footage.
My neighbors also didn't like it when the video switched back to the studio..
I love this site. A big thanks to Joe and his collaborators for all their insights into what makes living fun and interesting. As long as you keep pumping this stuff out, I'll keep watching.
Love ur channel!!!
I bet Joe was out of ideas and he had some coffee
he was also out of the technology used to go to the moon because according to petit, nasa destroyed it LOL
2:47 well actually the cup is also trying to fall, we just don't let it
I've always had an interest in sciences used (consciously or un') in the creation of art. I've been a musician/sound engineer for 15 years now, and I'm constantly amazed in the structures of songs that people write. If you understand the maths involved in music well enough you can begin to form a mental picture when listening to something. My favorite is when producing something, and someone wants to add a part, or change a transition. You get to watch someone work out the math, and create something pleasing aurally. MOST of the time they're not even aware of what they just did. There's always an explanation of "The key needs to change here to progress the hook into the next part. ", or "Shifting the tempo here just sounds better." That inate sense of finding when something 'sounds' or 'feels' better that all long-time musicians have is a subconscious science learned through years of practice. Everyday people use subconscious sciences to better their world, and create art. I also believe there's not yet understood sciences to explain fascinations with all forms of art. In general, and in the specifics.
Anyways, love your guys videos! Keep up the good work. You're making me think today haha!
Brilliant idea for a video and awesome execution 👍👍👍
hey this tastes like pee // oh hell you are sipping from the wrong bag again
I told you not to drink the coffee from McDonald's.
@@robertt9342 xD
Plot twist: It was an actual coffee bag full of piss.
@William Volkmann, just imagine the humor you'll come up with when you grow up!
Where did you even got that bag? isnt it supposed to be in the filterizing water disposing cabin???
Incredible science made a cup that looks like a vulva :O
phenomenal. literally. thank you!
Amazing. Don is such a cool dude!
Next: how to smoke a bong in space.
In my dreams this will happen before I die.
I love this guy .-. :3
It's such a small thing but this story was so amazing. Thank you for sharing it!
Ok much better video than I expected.
I couldn't get out of bed without coffee... let alone go to space.
Yeah just like you, like a cofee always popping up in my phone and waking me up in the middle of the godamn night with that stupid ringtone of yours, totally have to mute you
Well you have to get out of bed to get the coffee though
Coffe in space? Well, go to Starbucks...
No u
Thank you this might come in handy
got hear after only 9 minuts, awesome video!
My first thought was, "with a straw."
A bag is fine for your everyday coffee, but you wouldn't dream of putting the ISSPresso into anything other than a cup.
What happens if you fart in space ,
Do you get propelled ahead ?
No, you get propelled BEHIND! Ha!
@jubjub247, you forgot the "/s"
It's the same as coughing, except you spin the other way. (Mein Fuhrer - Do not do in der V-2)

Brilliant..simply brilliant stuff
So many lessons to learn here. Let alone the out of the box thinking and resourcefulness to find a solution while still in space, but the mindset of attempting to solve problems even if it may seem relatively small or insignificant. What's more the solving of the issue paves the way for many more important breakthroughs and innovations that could not have even been thought of to begin with.
Such a good, feel-good story, great job guys!
On a completely unrelated note, the audio quality of the interview was a little poor but takes nothing away from an otherwise high quality video :)
Well that's amazing!!! Never thought of that problem
Great video, but the sound balancing was way off
2:45 "The liquid is trying to fall and the cup isn't" Definitely need one of those floating coffee cups :D
Never thought that drinking coffe in space was so interesting. Love the channel.
Don is so cool! What an inspiration. He’s my role model.
Is the video editor deaf? Fix your sound level!
it's an overdone noise gate.

Coffee. A socially accepted drug that alters and impairs the thinking process, and we're all ok with that. Heck, we encourage driving on it.
Evidence on caffeine's effects on "the thinking process", please.
@@laihela People saying "I need my coffee in order to function." That's not exactly scientific, but I've got to go with my gut here.
@@briand8090 Trying to sound smart without actually knowing what you're talking about makes you look like a fool. Always check your facts.
@@laihela You ever hear the term projection? I'm sorry you feel the need to belittle people that you disagree with. It shows a lack of confidence in your position.
Caffeine is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant of the methylxanthine class. It is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive drug. Unlike many other psychoactive substances, it is legal and unregulated in nearly all parts of the world.
It affects the brain and that impairs judgement. That is an indisputable fact.

So cool! :D
It's called "capillary flow". It's the same principle that plants are using to move water from the ground to the leaves.
Great video! I wonder if they thought of a way of having a earthlike shower in space
Look at this precious nerd, so excited to tell people about his cup. I want to hang out with him for like, a week and just have him tell me about space.
After spending the last year in COVID lockdown, to varying levels, I think spending a year in space sounds like fun.
Awesome indeed
I absolutely love coffee
Same!
