Considering how much we waste on the space program, we don't want sleepy astronauts. Coffee has gotten much better but most coffee cups are still of archaic design. Drinking coffee, or anything for that matter, through a straw does not give the full sensory experience, as odor vapors entering through the nostrils are an important component of flavor.

As for cleaning,, hmm, that's a toughie. Also I was wondering about a concentric spiral with a straw sized central dot for "filling" rather than just the round so that it could be center filled then flushed with water in the center. Also, mounting a magnet in the base (just a little one) you could easily secure it to a bulkhead to keep a cup with you (or velcro). Great bit! Very nice work Travis!!

I'm planning to fly on them again and do some high-speed liquid videography, and this might dovetail nicely into that plan. One issue I see is with the chamfers; they'd be hard to clean.
