'Space Glass' For Drinking Whiskey in Zero Gravity

[Becky]

In case you were worried that you wouldn't be able to enjoy a nice glass of whisky on your next trip into space - fear not! A glass has been developed by Ballantine which will hopefully mean you don't need to resort to using a straw...

There is more about it at Engadget

I can't decide if this is really cool... or whether it's a grown up version of a Tommee Tippee

Is this going to be used by Ian or Chip in their next trip to space?

The later, definitely the latter!

over engineered ... and who the hell drinks Whiskey out of a straw??

I wonder if there are any plans to try and send this up to the ISS?! Maybe the Cosmonauts would like it for vodka

I'm sure a straw would be a lot cheaper.

Youth of today drink everything through a straw. Apparently it makes them more sozzled.
