The SpaceX supply ship arrived at the International Space Station on Friday morning, delivering the world's first espresso machine designed exclusively for astronauts.
Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti captured the Dragon capsule, which arrived three days after its Florida launch, with the help of a giant robot arm. The cargo carrier holds more than 1,800 kilograms of much-needed groceries, experiments and equipment.
Italy provided the espresso maker for Cristoforetti, who's been stuck with instant coffee since her mission began in November.
