      It’s not really a gadget, but there is an experiment attached to the outside of the space station called CATS and it shoots lasers. Every time we turn it on the flight controller say “Pew! Pew!!” and everyone giggles 😉

      Hi Summer_Louise,

      I love the space coffee cup that NASA is developing to allow the crew to drink coffee in orbit without having to drink through a straw or use a lid… check out this video… pretty cool!!

      What you think? You like the idea? Whats your favourite space gadget?

      I like the microgravity coffee cup like Col Ops 🙂

      It’s the appliance of science at it’s best.
