It took 50 years for NASA to find this design as no engineers had seen anything like it.
True.
That explains why engineers have so few kids.
@@johnsmithe4656😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"the Russians used a pencil". Like John Wick to kill 3 men, ha-ha.
It took one brilliant astronaut, Don Pettit, to design this, with some scavenged Mylar sheeting and Kapton tape, while in orbit.
This cup has me feeling astronaughty
HGAHAHAHA

I came straight to the comments and they didn’t disappoint
You came, you say?

I came in the comments too
this guy looks like brian kohberger
“The liquid will naturally climb up the crack”
I know it all too well
BAHAAHHHA
What impresses me is how they can toss the cup to each other, with a spin, and not have the liquid splash out. It's impressive what surface tension can do without gravity opposing it.

The description of the ISS being in constant freefall reminded me of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy; flying being the art (or rather, knack) of throwing oneself at the ground and missing. Basically, what the ISS is doing. 😂😂

"we should be able to see the water climb up the crack " 😂😂😂 well..that cracked me up
1:15 now I realize that the work of Howard from Big Bang Theory as a "space plumber" was actually not quite as bad as presented in the show
I like the idea that an orbit is just falling and missing repeatedly. We should celebrate every 6 months that we fell to the other side of the sun without getting burned up.
We did celebrate it, its just we celebrated it when we more or less come back to where we started, its called new year🎉
@@raymondcahyadi3094 Or a birthday!
@@raymondcahyadi3094 and every 4 years we celebrate making multiple cycles without becoming too crispy, by adding a whole entire day to the calendar.
@@jerrylim6722 Well not *every* four years. 3 out of every 4 centuries we skip the leap for the last year of the century. (1900 wasn't a leap year, and 2100 won't be a leap year.) We just happen to live in that one out of every four centuries where there was no century skip of the leap year.
I would say, an orbit is just falling without the body you are orbiting around getting in your way. When you throw an object on the surface of the Earth, the object eventually intersects the Earth and prevents it from falling any further. If there was no atmosphere and you could throw the object fast enough, it would go around the Earth and hit you on the back at the same speed you threw it (Rest In Peace). Falling/Orbiting objects mostly just keep going around the body that it is falling towards, as opposed to heading towards the centre of the body. It's actually very difficult to get anything to fall straight into the Sun to get burned up, because you would need to slow the object down a lot before it can fall towards the Sun such that it intersects the surface of the Sun. This takes a lot of fuel.

First thing I thought of before even watching was utilizing surface tension. It felt nice to feel smart for a minute for the first time in months. Now time to go back to my factory job.
Right there with ya bro, I had the same thought and I work at a cattle feed mill.
I’m retired military “knuckle dragger” helicopter mechanic, but I did help develop some NASA ideas when I would hang out with them while I borrowed their heat treating oven for my parts! I even helped brainstorm some ideas for toileting!
You were pretty Smart. Congratulations
Most solutions are obvious once you find a problem that needs a solution.
My second favorite part about education is already knowing the answer. My favorite is learning them.
Astronaut Don Pettit invented this while aboard the ISS using some Mylar sheeting and Kapton tape. On another flight he repurposed some "spare" parts and a cordless screwdriver to create a barn door tracker, a type of camera mount that can compensate for either the Earth's rotation on land, or a space craft's orbital velocity. Using this he was the first to capture sharp images of cities lit by their own artificial light at night from orbit.
Don Pettit is scheduled to return to the ISS in September for his fourth ISS mission.
cool
Thx!
He also wrote a funny blog from the perspective of a zucchini plant that he grew on the ISS called “Diary of a Space Zucchini” and a photo book of pictures he took from space called Spaceborn
According to his Wiki that cup was the first invention in space to receive a patent
😂
- i work at NASA
- wooooooooooow, what do you do?
- i design toilets
You laugh, but there is literally a guy at NASA whose sole job is to...smell things before they go into space. Yep. He's a super-smeller & his job is to determine whether an unnoticeable scent on Earth can become unpleasant, hazardous, or distracting in the sterile recycled air of spacecraft. Space careers are wild & sound absolutely bonkers until you stop to think about the myriad problems that present themselves only in such a unique artificial environment.
As an intergalactic species of (what is known to your people as) the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy, I can confirm what you say in 0:51 is very true. Only our privileged force-sensitive younglings have early opportunity at young age to appreciate gravity during space summer camp.
I love this comment
The water climbs up the crack 💀💀
Also a problem after drinking water in space
Crevice
Imagine having diarrhea in space.
@@FerdinandFake does it not cause acid reflux and etc ?
I love that at the beginning, the video unironically explains to you how to drink from a cup 😄
If you think about it, it's very hard to do.
You need to tilt the cup until it's too close to you nose, then tilt your head... while getting some liquid in your month, stop breathing, switch to your stomac, swallow, and start again.
There is a lot of thing that we do automatically without realizing how we do it.
Like walking, opening a door, drinking... Try making animations of thoses things, I'm sure you will have to do the movement at some point to "remember" how it's done.
@@pierrotA If you don't think about it, its very easy to do.
@@SafetyLucas Yes, it's the problem in space... You cannot rely on the genetic memory and the years of training.
Everything is hard and need to be learned again.
Obviously you do not remember, but for years you were unable to drink in a glass, walk, etc.
You learn how to drink from plastics cup with small inclined opening, like everyone else.
It's the meaning of my message: it *is* hard to drink from a cup, you just learn how to do it for years... And you do not know exactly how you do it, you just repeat what you learn from thoses years of training without thinking it.
For someone that learn very young how to cook, program, or whatever, it feel easy... Do not mean it is.
Teach a robot with a mouth and hands to do it.
And not a minute too soon, I was about to die of thirst!
Special shape you say.
The cup works by urinating into it and a totally separated computer prints out a paper that says, “you aren’t a real astronaut, and u have never been to space.”

A little bit off topic here, but I love the Dr Pepper shirt!
Back on topic, that is really awesome to know about that cup and how it works.. I only knew kind of how it worked because I've been watching this channel for a very very long time and I truly enjoy the information I learned from it.
Thank you for taking the time to film, edit, and post these videos.
Back to the Dr. Pepper: Can they have carbonated drinks in space? I wonder what would happen if they tried to drink a Dr. Pepper?
I see a lot of astronauts wanted the cup vs the straw.
This is a great demo of two things: If you want to be an inventor the problem (pun intended) is not finding the solution, it is finding the problem that needs to be solved. And this is a problem that does not exist and thus this supports why we need to have people in space, I doubt we (as human race) would have found this problem (and thus the pretty obvious (to those in space) solution to it.
I like the look of that cup very much.
Everything reminds you of her
I like that you find really thoughtful ways to demonstrate phenomena. Very creative.
I know that it looks funny, but it's honestly incredibile how sometimes the best solution to a problem is so "simple". Human ingenuity at its finest.
The stole the design from nature 🤣
I completely agree! It's amazing how often the simplest solutions turn out to be the most effective. Human ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. It's a great reminder that sometimes we don't need complex answers to solve our problems
genuine question, how would they fill this cup in zero gravity? like i presume their water bags are prefilled but would they be able to prefill a cup without risking a spill during the initial launch?

Coincidentally.. I think that shape might be very useful for retrieving used liquids from certain body lines and crevices.
What if you get a little cut in space? Will there be little red blobs floating around? Does it like float away as it leaves the skin?

0:17 Who tf sticks their tounge out into the cup when they drink? 😂
Hentai waifus.
That’s why there should be spinning space stations. Bcos if they spin, and your not directly on the axis that it spins on, you feel gravity. Like in a carousel you feel sideways gravity
This is shown in a lot of sci fi movies. Yes, it would work. I think the limitation is just cost and complexity. It would need to be rather strong, structurally. I'm sure something like that will be built eventually.
Another problem I see with this (I may be wrong) in order to spin fast enough to make artificial gravity, you would have to spin the station extremely fast, which could cause motion sickness unless the station was really really big (again I know literally nothing about this, this is my educated guess on the subject)
@@Sup_Aqualine369No motion sickness, because you wouldn't feel "motion", you'd just feel gravity. As long as the station was big enough and you were far enough away from the spin axis.
Not plausible enough to even build it bruh
@@daphenomenalz4100 Why is it not plausible, "bruh"? My understanding is that it's totally plausible, just not pragmatic.

[1:23] "$19 Million"
*I thought I was ready for the amount.* But was out by about 18 million bucks.
@@hhsyw "You are a millionaire?"
Hell no. And I don't get to outer space from my bathroom.
I figured NASA could easily spend a million bucks on a toilet. But 19 million?! How much would you have guessed a space toilet would cost?
@@Blackmark52 Because it's a unique toilet. NASA engineers have spent most likely months or years to develop this system. That's why it's so damn expensive. The price would drop sharply if this toilet were mass-produced.
@@huckleberryfinn6578 "The price would drop sharply if this toilet were mass-produced."
Ya think?
(But by the time you need a toilet for space travel your RV will probably cost a trillion in today's dollars -- so maybe not.)
@@Blackmark52 Imagine the implications if there were a clog.... an overflow.... a reversal of pressure.... a leak.... a crack.... a disconnect. You do NOT want that happening in Space. It's not like they can just roll the windows down and chuck all the mess outside. That would be very problematic. So yeah, it doesn't actually surprise me that $19 million was spent on toilet development. You know that our Defense Budget is $850 BILLION per year, right?
Surely not $19 million per toilet. I'm guessing the original toilet cost $19 million to design and build.
Either it wasn't made by NASA, and the licensing fees are ridiculous, or 19 million covers the r&d

I have a good thought to explore. Drowning in space. If there is a sufficient amount of water, would it stick to your head and be hard to remove?
IIRC an Italian astronaut had this exact problem when her helmet malfunctioned & started leaking water into her face while she was on a spacewalk.

Cup makers acting like straws don’t exist in space
3:09 is SOOO satisfying
How do you fill the cup in space? If there's no gravity, you can't just pour liquid into it. Which pretty much brings you back to bags with straws.
At 0:26
Step 1: Push the beverage from bag.
Step 2: Move it around with table tennis racquet.
Step 3: Get it in the cup.
Step 4: Enjoy your zero G beverage.

Guys, hear me out...
I almost never forget that almost all of our water systems rely on gravity, that's a big part of why I so heavily advocate developing & using "spin gravity" for space missions.
Cuppusy
I wonder how smell works in zero gravity. For example perfume, it's mist of tiny molecules of liquid light enough to travel in the air without falling down right away, but they also are not as small and as light as air molecules. So does the smell have a harder time traveling accross the room in zero gravity?
How do vapors and other solvents react in space?
