That's very neat, but it seems that if you handle it a bit to harshly the liquid will come out and make a mess, unlike the bag. If you are careful enough I guess that's a more flavorful and natural way to drink tho, I like this kind of stuff <3


> make a mess

IIUC spilling liquid in zero-gravity is extremely dangerous.

When you spill on earth, it falls to the floor.

When you spill in space, it floats around and globs up. Then that glob is attracted to, and sticks to, anything that’s hydrophilic. Which happens to include you. More alarmingly, your face.

If I remember correctly there was a recent incident where an astronaut’s dehumidifier in their suit gave out, and they almost drowned in the water being released from their own body (breath, sweat, etc)


Wonder if it would make sense to add a lid to this cup, such that when put on, the only open part would be the drinking "beak".
