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.

In his video, which he later narrated for Mission Control, Dr. Pettit demonstrated his take on a zero-gravity coffee cup...

    In a zero-g environment where orientation does not matter, and still feels the urge to tip the cup. I think I'd do the same.

    What's even more is we treat the environment he's in as if he's upright. There is no upright. If anything, to us he could have been tipping the cup "upright" while being upside down, hahah. Funny how little our relative basis of direction and orientation can be interpreted in zero-g.

    This raises a question to me.

    It certainly is a stupid one but it never occurred to me before.

    What happens when the liquid is inside you.

    It must adhere on the surface of your mouth, you must swallow hard, etc…

    I do not think man as a specie has any future in space !…
