Travel coffee mug

But for any type of travel. And you’ll see in the following sentences the reason for me to say something like this. Just have a little patience and allow me to make my introduction.
When seeing how designers they trouble their heads about revolutionizing the evolution of design, you don’t find it unusual or outrageous. They’re entitled to do so, because, after all, this is their job, right? But what’s uncommon is the fact that an astronaut seems to be as inspired as those who are expected to design all sorts of products.

Donald Pettit is just a normal guy who loves his morning coffee more than anything in this world (or almost anything and who had some trouble with drinking the miraculous beverage out in the space, during the Space Shuttle mission STS-126. Desperate and frustrated, he invented something to help him do what he usually did when being down on earth. And here we have the On-Orbit Coffee Cup, a “travel coffee mug”, which isn’t aimed at all of you out there, unless you plan to spend your vacation up in the stars.

Based on Pettit’s concept, designer Travis Baldwin was the one who made this coffee mug becoming reality. Practically, this guy offered himself to help the astronaut turn the design into a real product. This way, astronauts will have the chance to experience the magic of a cup of coffee, even if they aren’t here, on earth. As you can figure it out for yourselves, the device was designed to hold the liquid inside in conditions described by zero gravitation.
