Presented by collectSPACE.com — The Source for Space History and Artifacts. When Dr. Don Pettit lived aboard the International Space Station in 2002, he became known for his “Saturday Morning Science” sessions, during which he would demonstrate really cool, simple microgravity experiments. Earlier this month, Pettit returned to space, this time as member of space shuttle Endeavour’s crew on a mission to upgrade the outpost. After 10 days of hard work, the STS-126 crew got some time off Sunday morning and Pettit took the opportunity to film a special episode of Saturday, err, Sunday Morning Science.

    You folks better watch out, they’re covered in astro-germs. Just last year, an astronaut moved into my neighborhood. Simultaneously, all the leaves started dying and falling off our oak trees.

    @CalAlejandro its people like you that prohibit genius sir. its so good you are not deciding where money is spent for science. though this coffeemug has definatly nothing to do with genius but as you maybe know almost every great discovery has been made by accident.

    @CalAlejandro
    At the end of the video, he says he made the cup out of a piece of plastic from one of the FDF (sp?) books. This man is an innovator, he is a true hacker.

    @AhmadAlony123 Actually, NASA was concerned about this in the early days of the space program. They wondered if an astronaut would suffocate if he tried to eat in space. John Glenn flew America’s first orbital flight in 1963, and 1 of his missions was to try eating during the flight. John was fine, and long-term space flight became a real possibility!
