I just solved one of the biggest problems in astro - total click bait

[Raph-in-the-sky]

Hey guys,

If you are like me and like to enjoy a couple of beer while gazing at the sky, you ,no doubts, have know the issue of kicking an open bottle in the dark (which for the less lucky of us might end up in the EP case).

THIS IS NOW A THING FROM THE PAST! 

I present to you the lastest dob mod, derived from technologies inspired by NASA itself, ... the retractable cup holder!

Clear skies,

Raphael

PS: you could even use it for tea... you lot sure seem to like it

Came here looking for click-bait and found an ingenious device.
Disappointed. 😂

You'll need a bottle opener too!

I'm more of a lambic man, myself.

Not true! I can open a bottle of beer with just about anything...keys, lighter, a chair, a tree, you name it!

Very true. This is actually incredibly clever. Inventative use of existing technology to solve a practical problem. Engineering in action. Put a logo on that cup holder and there may be a few bob to be made! 😁

Hmmmmmm- Leffe Nectar. My favourite tipple.

Great idea, but drinking and viewing doesn't work for me, unless its strong coffee at 3am.

I prefer left over Space Shuttle fuel, which is quite a bit more potent than Romulan ale. 

After a couple drinks and the only thing i view is nebula in my dreams!🙄
