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 #nasaSpecial thanks to Don Pettit and NASA!Don’s collaborator on this research is Mark Weislogel from Portland State University.
