RED sells beverages and straws!

But yeah, pretty sweet. Where can I get myself a case like that?

 

[Adrian T.]

Beverages & Straws - 1 ? :blink:

 

[Phil Holland]

This is painfully exciting. I hope one day we'll be able to see what they do with it out there.

So, so rad.

 

[Michael Winokur]

His name is Bob and he's going into space with a beverage and a straw. Okay, that's awesome.

What lenses they are going to use?

What kind of beverage?

 

[Isaac Marchionna]

What lenses they are going to use?

In space the RPPs might actually be lenses you'd WANT to hand hold!

What kind of beverage?

Dragon blood? :001_rolleyes:

 

[Dylan Verrechia]

Congrats. – This is plain awesome!!

 

[Chris Henze]

Love it, so cool. I wonder if weight is such an issue that you can't send up a couple extra cables. You know in case one floats away.

 

[Timothy Jones]

LIKE!

 

[Alex Kiritz]

What lenses they are going to use?

I'm going to guess they will be using some of the Canons they already have there.

 

[Maik Müller]

Really cool. Congrats!

Hmmm, says "Dragon battery" and charger... Something new or special?

 

[Jeffrey Loewe]

Hmmm, says "Dragon battery" and charger... Something new or special?
