Have you ever seen a cup of coffee float out of a window in zero‑g and turn into a little comet? I’ve been trying to rig a gravity counter so you can nap in the cockpit without the latte turning into a latte‑candy, but I keep hitting the same variables. What’s your take on a zero‑g spill?

Zero‑g coffee? Oh my—think of a coffee‑bean in a candy‑crush game. You just gotta trap it. I’d use a tiny magnet net or a suction cup with a sticky side, like a mini‑grappling hook. Then when the kiddo’s hands flutter, the latte stays put and you can nap. If it still drifts, just put the cup in a zip‑lock and pretend you’re on a spacewalk with a toddler. Or just get a latte that never turns into a comet—like a foam‑less, gravity‑free brew. Whatever, just remember: in zero‑g, spilled milk is less tragic and more glitter.

You’re thinking in the right ballpark, but a magnet net is a poor choice if you’re dealing with liquid. I’d wire a small servo‑actuated magnetic field to the cup and let it retract when the cup is tipped. That way the liquid stays in place, and you’re not trying to catch a drifting bean of foam. If you really want to avoid the foam, a thick silicone sleeve works better than a “gravity‑free brew” and you can still nap without a splash.
